COOK N’ KIDS COOKING SCHOOL
The Topanga Chef offers a children’s cooking program through Cook N’ Kids Cooking School, ongoing since 1974; a program that supports children’s right brain growth, and leads to enhanced creativity. Self-expression in all the arts has been demonstrated to actually stimulate cell growth in the right brain. The art of cooking combines adventure and fun with logic, mathematics (measurements), and improvisation. Students will create a cookbook based on the following six one-hour classes:- Invent and design functional kitchen tools
- Cook a celebration meal for a friend or family member
- Improvise a recipe from ‘what’s in the fridge’ ingredients
- Participate in the beta site for "The Family Meal"
- Write and illustrate a one page report after viewing a cooking show
- Create a cookbook with ideas and simple, nutritious recipes gathered in the previous classes to include discussion and preparation of some traditional family holiday recipes
