About Us
Dedicated Educators
Owners and operators Richard and Karen Steinmetz started this business in their home in 2007 with their daughter's friends. They then branched out to children's private in-home birthday parties and Girl Scout Meetings where girls can earn cooking badges at each level. They also offer in-home private cooking lesson on four week programs.
Course Offerings
We offer in-home private cooking lessons for four week programs, weekly after-school classes and monthly Saturday specialty themed classes. Our vision of creating an atmosphere where children can learn to make healthy choices in their everyday nutrition, and having fun while being creative...is now being recognized as we enter a new level of teaching through Summer Camp and Pre-school age cooking classes. We will come to any summer camp program and teach children to cook various items. Pre-school classes are at our location once per week for 8 weeks by appointment. We also have a Department of Education Vendor number to allow us to visit your child's school during the day or after-school enrichment programs. Open to the Public.
Our Mission
Our vision of creating an atmosphere where children can learn to make healthy choices in their everyday nutrition, and having fun while being creative through hands-on, age appropriate cooking classes.
