What Parents & Teachers Are Saying About the Program

“It was lovely to see my picky eater trying vegetables by herself.”

“I was so blown away by your execution and demeanor during our class yesterday I had to share. I’ve been part of quite a few cooking events involving kids, but haven’t witnessed one in a way where someone is able to connect and translate so much info in an entertaining and articulate way where the participants never lose focus. Cant thank you enough, that was an incredible amount of fun and as a parent, very inspiring.”

“Our kids – albeit shy – had a wonderful time trying the new foods and getting to be hands on. Strangely enough, the kids all like the “cow chips” (kale chips) and my step daughter kept talking about the daikon radish and how good it was (yet, I can’t get her to eat a grape???) so kudos to your team for making the kids try more in one night than we can in a whole year!”

“Thank you so much for reaching out to our school for this amazing opportunity! The students and staff that attended the field trip had an amazing time and learned a lot about food preparation and healthy eating. They were excited and proud of all the new foods they tried and enjoyed eating what they prepared for lunch. This was definitely a first for most of them. As an educational leader, I really appreciate the opportunity to send our students to a college and open up the discussion of higher education, pathways to careers, and in this case the culinary arts.”

“This was an amazing opportunity for my six year old. She tried veggies and fruits she says she does not like and was excited to share what she learned with her friends. Would love to have this event again!”

“My daughter loved it and was inspired to start baking on her own and do her own experiments in the kitchen! Thank you for empowering the kids and teaching them that cooking can be fun and also encouraging them to grow their own vegetables.”

“I want to thank Chef Uriah and team for putting together such an awesome event for the kiddos. Mine are still talking about it almost daily!”

“Thank you so much for hosting this event! My kids loved it, and have since set up their own restaurant menu in our home kitchen to serve us up fresh fruit, sandwiches, and whatever else they can think up (I’d steer clear of the fruit soup). It was a super enriching experience and I’m grateful for the thought, time, and planning that went into it. Thanks again!”

“Thank you so much for offering this! My son chattered all evening about how much fun he had, what he learned and tasted, and how he wants to learn more about ‘cheffing’. He was so proud of what he made in the class and couldn’t wait to share it with me.”

“My son had so much fun. He talked about the event all night – you had a very positive impact on him and I’ve heard similar stories from the other parents whose children were able to attend.”

“Thank you for hosting such a wonderful event with such fun chefs. Our girls had a blast and we enjoyed a great conversation about healthy eating (and also trying new foods) afterward. I loved watching how interested they were making the food and the choices you came up with were really terrific.  They were perfect for getting kids to really open their minds. Thanks again for the opportunity.”

“What a MARVELOUS time our Boys & Girls Club students and staff had yesterday! We want to take the time to tell each of you (and the entire team) that you were a phenomenal crew! We enjoyed your hospitality, ability to wow the kids, and get them to have a hands on experience with trying something new! Our students left your campus pumped up and excited for the future of what is to come. We extend our sincere thanks and gratitude on a great event and we look forward to continuing to cultivate a partnership with you.”
