Cookiddoo gives children the opportunity to step into the kitchen and actually cook—not simply watch a demonstration. In small-group, hands-on sessions, kids learn how to safely use kitchen tools, work with ingredients, follow recipes and prepare dishes from scratch.
Our classes are not demonstrations or simple assembling activities — children are actively involved in the entire cooking process and prepare real dishes from scratch.
For example, depending on the class, kids make their own pasta dough, roll and cut fresh pasta, prepare sauces, work with yeast dough, bake pastries, make sushi, learn knife skills, measure ingredients, and practice proper kitchen techniques.
Programs range from individual themed cooking workshops to multi-week culinary education through the Junior Chef Academy. Children can explore pasta making, sushi, baking, desserts and international cuisines while gaining practical skills they can use at home.
Cookiddoo also offers cooking birthday parties, seasonal camps, private classes, family workshops and programs for schools and daycares, including off-site workshops.
Programs & Experiences
Small-group learning
Our regular classes are intentionally kept small, generally up to 10 children, so every child receives hands-on guidance rather than getting lost in a large group?

What Makes Cookiddoo Different
Kids do the cooking - Children actively prepare their dishes rather than simply watching an instructor demonstrate.
Hands-on learning - Kids measure, mix, prepare, cook and decorate with guidance from instructors.
Small-group experience - The format allows instructors to provide guidance while children work through the cooking process.
More than recipes - Cooking becomes an opportunity to build independence, confidence, teamwork, organization and practical life skills. Children don’t simply decorate or assemble pre-made food. They work with real ingredients and learn the complete cooking process — measuring, mixing, kneading, cutting, shaping, cooking, baking and plating.
Ages 4–15. Programs are designed for children across a broad range of ages and skill levels.
