Dismissed Until The Next Day

Each day at each table; both the kitchen table and the lunch table, we hope you will gain confidence in your abilities to joyfully join with your fellow kid-chefs, instructors and other staff to converse and describe your tastes. We hope too that you will gain an understanding on cooking basics and comprehend the difference between simply producing a recipe and applying your very unique passion and taste and make a dish truly your own.

We will discover that any ingredient such as eggplant or chicken prepared in Italy, France, Japan, India, South America, the Caribbean, and North Carolina may taste incredibly different because its been made with specific cultural, culinary, historical, spiritual, and geographical differences. But it is still chicken, or eggplant. And delicious.

Thank you! We are very excited to take this journey in cooking with you.
