Add to my Calendar

This program builds upon the skills learned in the Cooking Intro program on April 5, although it's not a prerequisite. Tweens will be divided into teams to put their cooking skills to the test. They will be aided and instructed by Theresa Chai, an experienced chef who has led multiple cooking classes at Sur La Table. This will be a light, fun environment that will help tweens develop comfort and experience in the kitchen in a safe, controlled setting. Winning team(s) will get prizes!
