Organized Youth Group Cooking

Looking for a fun and educational experience for kids from 3rd grade and Up?
This exciting, interactive 2-hour “Iron Chef” inspired activity is perfect for philanthropic groups, scout troops, homeschoolers, and youth development organizations. Kids work together in groups to create a delicious recipe while socializing, earning badges and meeting educational requirements along the way.

Escuela de Rogow can accommodate up to 18 kids/teens (weather permitting). If you have a large group of elementary-aged children, additional adult supervision may be required. The flat rate for this event is $450, regardless of group size.

Upon arrival, participants are divided into kitchen brigades. Each brigade is assigned a cooking station, complete with a recipe, fresh ingredients, and all necessary equipment. I kick things off with a lively demonstration, teaching kids how to read, prep, and cook the recipe of the day.

Whether you want a friendly, collaborative atmosphere or a spirited competition, the experience can be tailored to your group. Best of all, every child gets to enjoy the dish they made at the end of the event.
