On a mission to redefine kid food; Kids’ Test Kitchen’s enthusiastic Facilitators get eaters of all ages and abilities, cooking, tasting, and thinking about healthy ingredients! Kids’ Test Kitchen presents kids the opportunity to explore new or familiar foods in their raw, unmanipulated state. Then, working as a team, they’ll slice, dice, peel, measure, and cook until they’ve prepared the finished dish. Class closes with an opportunity to taste the result of their hard work. Students receive a printed recipe card and the focal ingredient - or a sample of the finished dish - so they can show off what they learned! Even the most reluctant eaters enjoy Kids’ Test Kitchen, where participation is encouraged, and the choice to taste is always one’s own. Lessons are planned to celebrate seasonal produce, whole grains, and legumes. Yes – join us again! Each series of classes offers fresh new recipes to prepare and explore! Kids have food allergies, but they shouldn’t miss out on the fun. We know allergies and can work around them, making sure that everyone is having fun and staying safe. *Families who have students with allergies or other necessary dietary modifications will be required to complete our diet modification form before the first class. Let us know about your student https://kidstestkitchen.com/prep **The Recreation Director or Instructor will plan to meet the children at the end of the school day and walk with them to class.

Actually, the earlier the better when it comes to teaching children dining etiquette. Sam Sifton, Food Editor for the New York Times states, “Kids are awesome, and they should be a part of the dining experience,” says Sifton. “Anytime we go t a restaurant, we are entering into a social contract with everyone else in the restaurant. I’m not trying to ruin your good time, and you’re not trying to ruin mine. It’s important to model that behavior, so kids can accept the social contract and have a good time.” Introducing your child to proper table manners and dining etiquette today can help build their confidence in any social settings tomorrow! Topics Include: Approaching and seating at the table, The napkin and its uses, understanding place setting, How to correctly hold silverware, The bread & butter plate, The soup course, Proper use of silverware, American and Continental styles of dining. Passing food at the table, What to do with unwanted food, Appropriate table conversation, Excusing yourself from the table, Other table manners & much more.
