Kids in the Kitchen
Wednesday 1:30-4:30
Grades 2-6
Candi grew up on a farm where everything was made “from scratch” and the secret ingredient in her grandmothers cooking was love. “Kids in the kitchen” is a hands-on cooking experience where basic ingredients, a little science, and love come together in a wonderful, edible art form. The kids bring home their creations, could be dinner for four, home baked bread, or wonderful deserts. For 4 weeks this Fall we will be in the craft studio making kitchen-related crafts due to remodeling of the farm kitchen. Cost: $180 monthly.
