Children can enroll for weekly classes in which they learn about safety in the kitchen (such as handling glass and knives) and food safety, such as how long certain food items should be cooked or baked. They also learn how to handle kitchen equipment, how to present the food, how to set the table and how to politely conduct themselves as chefs and as eaters. The Young Chef's Academy is well known in the Edmond area for its classes, and Royal Tea Parties is known for teaching its fancy foods skills such as finger sandwiches and teas.
A theme party helps keeps young partygoers engaged and happy, and crafting cupcakes with sugary icing and sprinkles can occupy them for hours. The Young Chef's Academy and Royal Tea Parties both offer children's parties complete with all the mixings: chef's outfits, cooking supplies, ingredients and equipment and experienced instruction. Both the Young Chef's Academy and Royal Tea Parties can both plan cooking parties for children as young as three years old and as old as 18.
Kids' interests can change quickly as they grow, so sometimes they may want to try something out before making a commitment to it. With one-time cooking classes, this option becomes a reality. The Young Chef's Academy offers one-time classes that introduce your child to kitchen, showing them how to make a simple recipe, take care of the food and keep the kitchen organized and safe.
Keeping children engaged during the summer is important so that they can maintain a schedule and an active lifestyle, but some children may not be interested in sports summer camps or overnight summer camps. Instead, they can try cooking camp. Young Chef's Academy offers cooking camp in the Edmond area, which are just like normal cooking classes but are continuous throughout one week or more. Camps and field trips are also offered over spring breaks.
