Some example book and recipe pairings are…

We can host safe, fun, and enriching cooking classes for the families who frequent your library. Our highly experienced crew of passionate, creative and dedicated chef instructors join groups of children virtually while everyone remains in the familiarity, safety, and comfort of their own homes. Our online classes are designed to foster independence and safety in the kitchen.
Our talented and experienced chefs bring all of the ingredients, supplies, and equipment required to lead a safe, fun, interactive, and educational literature + cooking class. All we need is a space with tables, an outlet, chairs and access to a sink.
Our instructor arrives 15-20 minutes prior to the start time to set up in the designated area. Class begins with reading the book of choice (can be read by your staff or our chef). Once storytime is complete and hands are washed, we transition to cooking a delicious recipe that is relatable to the book. Students do all the slicing, chopping, grating, and mixing as a team then we sit and eat our scrumptious creation. Class wraps up with a discussion about the book and recipe then we clean up!
