Bring your children to Flour Power Kids Cooking Studio at 314 E. Hickory St., Suite 113, in Denton, for fun cooking classes. They have a weekly class for preschoolers to teens designed to teach skills suitable to the abilities of most kids. Your junior chef will experience hands-on lessons in the kitchen. The recipes they learn will appeal to their curiosity and can be taken home so your child can share what they’ve learned with your family. The tuition includes all supplies and recipe handouts to take home.

Flour Power has various camp types to suit your needs, including summer camp, school break camp, and camps for teacher workdays. Your little chef will gain confidence in their cooking skills and may be eager to cook dinner for you. The class covers preparing snacks and making lunches. Everything they’ll need to participate in the class will be provided. These camps are available for daily or weekly lessons. Camp will also include learning practical life-long skills such as science, math, chemistry, and reading.

Your child will have all the cooking supplies and ingredients for the menu items at camp. Your child will receive a take-home booklet at the end of camp, which includes recipes for snacks and lunches that they learned during their classes. All you have to do is bring your kids to camp; they’ll have everything they need waiting for them.

Another great class is Kids Night Out, which is perfect if your child cannot attend a class every week. This class is perfect if you need a night off to enjoy some personal time or have a date night. Kids Night Out is convenient for your schedule. These popular classes are offered on Friday nights and last long enough for you to enjoy your evening. These classes are fun and have interactive themes, keeping your kids engaged all night.

If you’re looking for a unique birthday party idea, they also host cooking parties for ages 3 and up and have a separate birthday package for teens. Flour Power Kids cooking studio does all the work, so you can sit back and relax. They’re sure to end their special day with a big smile. All classes are held in person, but signup is available online on their website.

Outschool

If you’re looking for online classes for your child, Outschool is a great place to start learning, with separate offerings for ages 3-5, 6-9, 10-13, and 14-18 for your child to get age-appropriate lessons. Your child can also join an online baking group or club. The classes will teach them to prep their ingredients and learn to cook or bake a variety of new recipes. They can choose sweet or savory cooking classes or try a bit of both.

Some of their offerings include Sweet Treats and Desserts, a baking class for ages 8-13. Your child will learn to bake various sweets, such as cookies, cakes, chocolates, and flavored candies. Another class is Let’s Make Dinner, a cooking and baking experience for young chefs ages 8-12. The course covers preparing dinner recipes plus baking desserts. These are just a sampling of the classes you can sign up for on their website.

Kidstir

For a cool hybrid concept in culinary instruction that you can participate in with your child, check out what Kidstir offers. You and your child can pick from various plans, ranging from monthly to yearly membership. Then you’ll receive a monthly cooking kit to learn at home alongside your kids. Kidstir includes an online community where you can get support, find additional recipes, and play games.

Cooking at home with family is an excellent option for all children, including those with special needs, those on the autism spectrum, kids who require individual attention, or kids who don’t like to rush to complete their cooking within the time frame of a class.

The monthly kit includes a new adventure every time. Your child receives a box with an incredible new kitchen tool, three hands-on recipes with step-by-step instructions, and a “Foodie Fun” magazine filled with activities for you and your child to enjoy together. Next, enjoy learning to cook delicious recipes and making memories with your child in the kitchen. This experience will help their confidence grow as they complete new challenges monthly. You can sign up for a membership on the Kidstir website.

The Young Chefs Academy

Young Chefs Academy has classes for various age groups and skill levels. Classes are initially recommended by age, but children with cooking skills may advance to classes for older and more advanced students when ready. The three classes offered are KinderCooks, a 60-minute class for ages 4-7; Junior Chefs, a 90-minute class for ages 7 and up; and Senior Chefs, a 90-minute class for ages 12 and above or younger children with advanced cooking experience.

The weekly classes at Young Chefs Academy are designed to introduce children to cooking, then build upon their knowledge to sharpen their skills. This goal is achieved through a structured weekly program. There’s a new unique theme offered every month, making each class a completely new experience. Hands-on classes build step by step upon the foundations of learning so your child can progress in their culinary knowledge and kitchen skills. This results in the ability to prepare more complex recipes and progress in food presentation.

Classes are offered individually or as part of an ongoing Young Chefs Academy membership. Get your kids ready to roll up their sleeves and get into the kitchen at 939 W. Stacy Road, Suite 145, in Allen.

Whether you choose in-person, online, or home-based classes, cooking classes are available for every child’s learning style. Our team at Crème de la Crème of Coppell invites you to start your child early in learning valuable lifelong cooking skills.
