About Us
Kids Cook! is an educational cooking program designed especially for children. Our kitchen opened in 2000, and since then we have taught hundreds of kids how to cook delicious and wholesome foods from around the world. All our cooking is done with fresh, natural ingredients and seasonal produce.
Kids Cook! offers a hands-on cooking experience. Kids learn how to measure, mix, grate, peel, cut, and whip. They learn how to knead dough for bread, and how to roll it for pastries and pasta. In short, we introduce kids to the essential kitchen tools and techniques that will serve them for the rest of their cooking lives.
Cooking with kids is the single best way to expand their culinary horizons. Children want to taste foods that they have prepared. So, as kids learn to cook, they also learn to eat. Cooking can help even the most selective eaters to approach new foods with an open mind.
Classes are for children between four and thirteen years old. We offer three sessions during the school year—fall, winter, and spring—and special seminars in the summer. After-school classes meet once a week for eight weeks. Kids receive take-home portions and recipes for all dishes prepared in class. All classes meet at 170 Hicks Street, located between Clark and Pierrepont streets in Brooklyn Heights.
Kids Cook! also offers customized cooking parties for up to 8 kids
