The Kitchen Crew Story

Food is our passion. And nothing brings us more joy than teaching kids how to cook it. In 2016, we began by teaching small in-person classes to children across Metro Detroit. After tons of classes, birthday parties, and even a summer camp, things shifted in 2020 when we were halted like so many, by the global COVID pandemic. Now, after some time away, we are once again preparing to offer cooking classes for children.

We believe in giving children the skills they need to form a healthy relationship with food and to become independent enough to eventually cook for themselves. Wherever possible we use whole foods, make things from scratch and introduce new ingredients. 

Cooking with kids is messy and imperfect, which makes it a perfect learning experience. They learn patience, persistence, and how to improvise. Things won’t always go as planned and that’s okay. Learning how to pivot and make the best of the situation will serve them well in the kitchen, and in life.
