Add to my Calendar

Let’s turn up the heat for Cinco de Mayo with a sizzling culinary adventure for tweens!

In honor of the upcoming Cinco de Mayo celebration, our head cooking instructor, Theresa Chai, will be leading a class that will teach tweens how to cook tasty Mexican dishes. In addition to learning more about cooking with the vibrant flavors of traditional Mexican cuisine, the tweens will get to savor their own creations at the end of the night—whether it’s a culinary masterpiece or a delightful mishap! We will provide all the supplies needed for this unique cooking experience.
