Learning to cook develops creativity, academic skills and teamwork—but it’s also a lot of fun. In five days teens will learn everything from culinary terms and cooking technique to baking and international cuisine. With help from our professional chefs, junior chefs will split into groups to work on the day’s recipes, and then regroup at the chef’s table to discuss the day’s lessons and enjoy the food they’ve prepared.
Camp fee includes recipes, 7” Wüsthof chef’s knife, and exclusive Sur La Table apron and market bag. Classes only available as a five-part series. Sign up for both teens’ camps and receive a 15% discount on your total order. Sign up two or more siblings and receive a 15% discount on your total order.
