Experience
Different angle from typical chef-led kids cooking - emphasis is on nutrition literacy and building sustainable home-cooking habits as much as it is on technique. Best fit for families who want their kids to learn to feed themselves real food rather than focus on decorated cupcakes or restaurant plating. Dietary restrictions accommodated with advance notice.
