This holiday lets ring in the festive season with beautiful songs just like it used to be when we were kids. Let’s cook and bake with friends and family and share beautiful holiday memories together.

Invite a friend to come with you as you spend beautiful times together because cooking with love provides food for the soul.

As Goodrich puts it ” Christmas is like candy; it slowly melts in your mouth sweetening every taste bud, making you wish it could last forever.

Do you have a little Chef at your house? Do you have a friend or family who are not sure of what to do during the holidays? Invite them to join you and have fun together.
When you pull out the mixing bowl do your children want to dive in and help? I know that feeling- the smell of fresh baked goods is simply irresistible 🙂
Does your child want cooking and baking utensils as birthday gifts? Yes, you have come to the right place.
Do you want your child to gradually learn to make Christmas treats, lunch or dinner?
Do you want your children to develop lifelong independent skills but lack the time to guide them? We are here to help.

Nini’s Cooking Class is the perfect place for students to develop, share memories, build relationships, and sharpen their culinary skills.

Our curriculum will also expose your budding chef the following areas:

• Kitchen safety
• Meal planning
• Knife skills
• Baking and pastry skills
• Cooking techniques
• Etiquette and manners
• Food Presentation
• Proper food handling
• Food preparation
• Table setting
• Kitchen hygiene
• How to prepare dinner for your family
• And so much more!

 

Class is 1 day only.

OVERVIEW: Our goal is to equip and expose students to hands on recipes around the world. Our young chefs will learn about different global flavours. We will step by step teach our students how to prepare these meals, appreciate new foods, new flavours and diverse cultures. Students will be empowered to execute sweet and savoury recipes at home so as to help cook meals at home and prepare lunches for school. Our welcoming environment provides a “real” setting so that the students can take what they learn to their own homes. Students will acquire the knowledge, experience, and confidence to build lifelong cooking skills that can ignite creativity, and build self-esteem. Students will eat what they prepare, execute recipes learned at home, build confidence, and most importantly create memories that will last forever.

We will be following the most up to date guidelines provided by Alberta health Services and the Government of Alberta. We will inform you of requirements to attend the camps such as the use of masks and temperature checks prior to day 1 of our school. We will follow all necessary protocols to ensure a safe environment for all participants. We will keep you posted on the most recent protocols as we draw close to school. We want to use this opportunity to thank you for your understanding. 

Nini’s Cooking School is one of our favourite time of the year. It allows us the opportunity to build relationships, go in-depth and get even more creative in the kitchen, learn global cuisines, and laugh while enjoying tasty meals. This is because we have more time to bring out the best in your child.
