Let your kids unleash their kitchen skills and whip up delicious meals by enrolling them in these young chef boot camps.
Young chefs boot camp
The Center for Culinary Arts Manila, the country’s premier culinary institution, shares its passion for cooking with children as it cooks up another enriching summer learning activity in this year’s Young Chefs Boot Camp.
Open to budding culinary enthusiasts 7 to 16 years old, the CCA YCBC aims to hone the cooking skills of participants while encouraging them to explore their own kitchen creativity as well as expand their culinary palates.
Classes are to be held from Mondays to Fridays, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the CCA main campus in Katipunan.
In this fun, five-day workshop series, kids, tweens, and teens will learn and master essential kitchen fundamentals like knife skills, new cooking techniques, kitchen safety, ingredients, sanitation, and a lot more as they work alongside trusted CCA chef-instructors.
For beginners aged 7 to 12 years, let them discover the joy in cooking their favorite dishes for the whole family through the Young Upstarts course. Those 10 to 16 years old can choose between Asian Flavors and Western Flavors. Tweens who love to tinker with the oven will definitely learn the finer points of making well-loved pastries and other bakery treats through the Baking and Pastry course.
The fee covers the student’s essential classroom items like disposable kitchen uniforms, recipe manuals, handouts, ingredients and tools.
Application is ongoing. For inquiries, contact CCA, Manila Katipunan at (02) 218-8566 or 426-4834, or e-mail talktoccamanila@gmail.com.
Cooking series at The Maya Kitchen
Kids and teens will enjoy preparing food as much as eating them at The Maya Kitchen’s Kids Can Cook classes. Aside from whipping up meals, the classes are also a great way to introduce them to healthy eating and taking on more responsibilities at home.
