QUESTIONS ASKED BY KIDS:

Do we get to eat what we make?
Yes! That's part of the fun. At the end of each class we will all share in the fruits of our labor as we taste all the great things we just made.

Do we ever get to take what we make home?
Yes! There will be times when you may not want to eat what you made and would like to take it home to share with your family. And sometimes we will have made more than we can eat. In both cases we will provide a container for you to use.

When do I get my chef hat and chef apron?
You will get both of these items when you arrive for your first class on Monday. You will leave these in the kitchen everyday. Then after your last class on Friday you can take them home to use in your kitchen!

When do I get my recipe book?
Good question. Everyday you will get a sheet of recipes to follow along with in class. However that will probably be ruined by the time we are done. So after your last class on Friday you will get a complete book of all the things we made in class for the week to take home.

Do I have to eat everthing that we make?
No. If you find you do not like the taste of something we made in class, you do not have to eat it. You can, however, take it home to share with your family.

What if I don't listen to the chef?
Our kitchen is a full commerical kitchen with knifes, hot stoves and ovens. Everyone in class must listen to the chef and follow instructions and directions. We all work as a group and if everyone listens, no one will accidently get hurt.
