Kids' cooking is all about fun at The Chef Upstairs. Children will learn the basics of food preparation, cooking techniques, healthy eating – but most of all, they'll learn how to create and enjoy great food. It's a hands-on entertaining and interactive learning experience.
There are themed clases and week-long camp sessions, such as for holidays like Valentine's Day, Easter and Thanksgiving too. Your budding little chef is sure to enjoy the world of "sticky fingers" can even earn a "Little Chef Upstairs" diploma.
The Chef Upstairs is 100% nut and peanut free. This means that everyone, from our guest chefs to our private corporate clients, must always adhere to this policy. We take pride in being allergy aware, so if your child has other allergies, be sure to let us know.

Jr. Chef Program
4th session dates coming soon!
Age Group: 4–13+yrs
Back for a third session our Jr. Chef program is a "hands-on" experience that has been designed to get kids comfortable in the kitchen, try new foods and most of all inspire kitchen creativity. Kids will learn to make all the dishes from scratch and learn about the different uses of utensils, kitchen safety and hygiene, how to properly measure dry and liquid ingredients, how to follow a recipe, table etiquette and much more. Kids will enjoy the dishes they make at the end of each class, and have the recipes to take home. This program will equip your child with the skills to make meals from scratch and select the ingredients that they need to make healthy choices and tasty food for the whole family.
