"There are few rewards richer than teaching your children to love cooking as much as you do. But the mess that ensues when a three-year-old measures flour or chops tomatoes is enough to make any parent rethink impromptu lessons. Enter Sticky Fingers, a cooking school where children ages two to 12 can whisk, julienne, and fold to their heart's content—in someone else's kitchen. Plus, when kids get involved in their food, they're more likely to eat it—spinach and all."

Sticky Fingers Cooking was featured in "Pint-sized Chefs", an article which appeared in Denver's 5280 Magazine in May.
Excerpt:
"Wielding a pint-size Day-Glo rolling pin, my three-year-old son Andrew rolls, presses, and pokes the squishy substance before him, in the gleeful way that preschoolers have of turning every activity into a full-body sport. Flour is everywhere, coating his blond hair, the counters, and the floor, yet nary a "no" is heard. That's the beauty of Sticky Fingers Cooking, a Denver-based cooking school aimed at the tiniest chefs. By the end of the morning, he'll have learned a technique or two, we'll go home with pizza for the family, and I can relax, knowing we'll leave the mess behind."

"I can’t tell you how many parents came up to me and said “Best Birthday party of this year.” Everyone loved the fact that it was so original and kept the kids busy (and was healthy to boot)."
"For the first time in his life, my son ate salad last night. He promised to try everything he made in class (of course he loved the chicken and biscuits) so I gave him one bite of salad. My husband and I were almost knocked over when he asked for MORE!! Granted it was loaded up with ranch dressing, but now he knows that salad is actually edible!! Proving your theory once again, that if they help make it, they will eat it. And he was so excited to show his dad what he made. We love your classes!!"
