Kids Cook! offers a hands-on cooking experience especially designed for children. Kids learn how to measure, mix, grate, peel, cut, and whip; how to knead dough for bread, and how to roll it for pastries and pasta. All cooking is done with fresh, natural ingredients and seasonal produce. Fall, winter, and spring sessions are available during the school year, and special seminars are offered in summer. Afterschool classes meet once a week for eight weeks. Kids receive take-home portions and recipes for all dishes prepared in class. Classes are limited to eight children, with two adult instructors.

"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.”"
