Cooking Up Change

Weekends are a favorite time here at our culinary studio as we cook and provide emotional support to teens one on one. This summer Chef Pam is working with older teens developing more independence (15-24 years old) and Cai, our Junior Chef Coordinator and Cook is cooking on Sundays with 12-17 year olds . These individual culinary therapy classes are perfect for youth with autism, social anxiety, FAS, or other challenges. We customize how we approach teaching each teen critical life skills to help them find a safe space to embrace who they authentically are, while also supporting their parents through that process.

We are currently accepting a limited number of new clients, aged 12-24 for these individual Culinary Fundamentals Classes, Level 1 and 2, for August. Contact [email protected] for more information.

When there is a cold snap we might as well teach teens how to embrace the weather and use our outdoor pizza oven in the winter months. Leo and Joseph tried their hand at pizza and calazones last weekend. They learned about making dough, how high heat works and a lot about fire safety that clearly showed that they were superstars at the oven.

This made for a delicious dinner to take home to share with their families.

We are currently accepting new youth for our 1:1 weekend lessons this winter season.
