"From baked goods to full meals, at these classes you and your child will learn to make a variety of delicious, healthy foods.  While the oven bakes our masterpieces we will do a small edible project. After it’s all cooked, we will taste together and of course send you home with whatever you don’t finish. Parents and kids alike will learn a lot—and have an absolutely ducky time doing it! Classes are taught by Laura Fischer-Harbage, Certified Holistic Nutritional Counselor who specializes in family nutrition. Come find out what everyone is quacking about."
Cost: $40 (for child and caregiver). Space is limited. Call (718) 360-8469 to reserve your spot today!

Laura had good recipes in general and good suggestions of one-pot meals.

Our action packed classes meet once a week for 90 minutes and are open to children ages 2 to 5 with an accompanying parent or caregiver. Our one-time events are a condensed version of our weekly classes.
Each class follows a structure kids can depend on: a healthy recipe, a taste test, a hands-on cooking experience, a safety tip, table manners, clean-up, and story time. We end our class by thanking each other for the food we've prepared. Children receive a little gift in keeping with the week's recipe. Mimi's classes are for grown-ups too. We tell Moms about the best kid-friendly foods to buy at the supermarket and how to serve quick meals using fewer processed foods. We have lots of hints for getting picky eaters excited about new foods. And it's fun! At the classes, each child receives a cloth apron with the Mimi's Soup Spoon logo, as well as a cookbook designed by Eliza Hartley filled with the recipes we make together in class. Each class includes an introduction to a healthy recipe, taste tests, a hands-on cooking experience, safety tips, table manners,  story time, and clean up.  We end the classes by thanking each other for the food we've prepared.

"Pint-size cooks can learn to make dim sum, sopas and baba ghanouj. On a recent weekend, Alyssa Volland, the instructor and the wife of Alex Volland, the restaurant's owner and chef, chose pizza for the day's lesson. But this wasn’t a typical child-friendly pizza — frozen, on a bagel or dripping with pepperoni.  Instead, Hanna Mandel, 5, set to mixing yeast pebbles, sea salt and extra virgin olive oil into an artisanal dough, which she topped with mozzarella and a nutty, slightly stinky Gruyère before choosing a vegetable topping. As she kneaded, she talked about her No. 1 food, sushi, declaring, “Seaweed is my favorite part.”"

Students in cooking classes are taught from the basics of chopping the ingredients safely to cooking simple gourmet and international cuisine. The excellent coaching in these schools helps students to become chefs, bakers, and cooks in prestigious hotels and restaurants.
