Tuesdays: Mini Chefs with GUILD
Do you have a young chef in the making? GUILD’s after school cooking classes provide a space for children to explore their culinary creativity while learning food preparation skills that will set them up for success in the kitchen.
Delicious and healthy recipes are a key ingredient of every cooking class at GUILD. We teach students how to chop, dice, peel, slice, wash, strain, core, bake, toast, whisk, fold and mix. Students will learn to read recipes and measure ingredients in a way that makes recipe preparation (and clean-up) easy and fun!
Cultural awareness is an important part of our program. We carefully select recipes that expose students to the foods and dishes of other countries. Our instructors share interesting facts about world cuisine and encourage students to share their own cultural food experiences with classmates. Ages 5-12

A fun, creative art class using natural things and colorful paints, pens and other mixed media supplies. We will make leather pouches, pinecone collages, Wind chimes, sea glass art and paper lanterns.
