A Six-Week Cooking Series for Independent Young Cooks (Ages 11–18)
Give your teenager a skill they'll use for the rest of their life. Teen Kitchen Confidence is a six-week, hands-on cooking program designed to teach young cooks how to become confident, capable, and independent in the kitchen. Instead of simply following recipes, students will learn how to think like a cook—opening the refrigerator or pantry, recognizing the ingredients they have on hand, and creating delicious, nutritious meals for themselves and their families.
Each week builds on the skills learned in the previous class, beginning with the fundamentals and progressing to planning, preparing, and cooking complete meals. Along the way, students will gain confidence with knife skills, kitchen safety, organization, seasoning, meal planning, budgeting, and cooking techniques that can be applied to hundreds of different recipes.
Week 1 - Monday, September 14 – Breakfast Basics
Every great cook starts with the basics. Students will master one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen—the egg. They'll learn how to fry, scramble, poach, and prepare a fluffy omelet, while discovering how a few pantry staples like eggs, milk, and flour can become a variety of delicious breakfasts and brunches. By the end of class, they'll understand that a well-stocked pantry can provide countless meal possibilities.
Week 2 - Monday, September 21 – Building the Perfect Lunch
Students will learn how to prepare satisfying lunches from scratch by making hearty soups, signature sandwiches, and fresh salads. They'll discover how to select ingredients for homemade soups, build flavorful sandwiches, and prepare salads that can be stored and enjoyed throughout the week. This class also introduces meal prep and proper food storage to reduce waste and save time.
Week 3 - Monday, September 28 – Cooking for One
Whether they're home alone after school or looking for a late-night snack, students will learn how to prepare quick, satisfying meals without relying on processed foods. They'll make dishes such as stovetop macaroni and cheese, upgraded ramen noodles, fried rice, and creative meals using leftovers. This class teaches resourcefulness, showing students how to transform simple ingredients into comforting meals.
Week 4 - Monday, October 5 – 20-Minute Family Meals
Busy schedules don't have to mean takeout. Students will learn how to prepare quick, healthy dinners using ingredients commonly found in the pantry and refrigerator. Recipes may include Spaghetti Bolognese, Chicken and Dumplings, Carbonara, Tacos, and easy air fryer meals. The focus is on organization, timing, and getting a delicious meal on the table with confidence.
Week 5 - Monday, October 12 – Planning a Family Meal
Cooking for a family requires planning as much as cooking. Students will learn how to organize and prepare complete meals while managing their time efficiently. They'll explore one-pot meals like chili, slow cooker favorites, oven-baked casseroles, and traditional roast dinners, gaining an understanding of how different cooking methods work together to create a successful family meal.
Week 6 - Monday, October 19 – My Signature Family Dinner
For the final class, students become the chef. Using everything they've learned over the previous five weeks, they'll plan, budget, and prepare a complete family meal to take home and share. They'll research recipes, choose ingredients, make substitutions when needed, and manage their grocery budget. This capstone class celebrates their new independence and demonstrates that they can confidently cook for themselves and the people they love.
Throughout the series, students will be encouraged to use their smartphones as a tool to research recipes, compare techniques, and make informed decisions about ingredients and substitutions. Some recipes will be partially prepared during class so students can finish cooking them at home, reinforcing the skills they've learned while involving the whole family.
By the end of the six weeks, students won't just know how to follow a recipe—they'll understand how to plan meals, stock a pantry, shop wisely, use leftovers creatively, and prepare nutritious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners with confidence. They'll leave with practical life skills that will serve them for years to come, along with the independence to step into any kitchen and know exactly where to begin.

Harvest Table Pie Flight
Harvest Table Pie Flight
Sunday, September 6, 2026 | 3:00PM - 6:00PM
$189.00 per station - Suitable for Dynamic Duos (Please see below for more details.)
Step into September baking with a table full of flaky crusts, bubbling fillings, and the kind of pies that feel right at home beside a simmering pot of soup or a warm mug of cider, even if Florida is still serving us ninety degrees and humidity thick enough to butter toast.
In this hands-on class, students will make one rich all-butter pie dough from scratch and learn how that same dough can be shaped and transformed into three unique pie styles: rustic blackberry basil galettes, sealed apple cheddar hand pies, and savory chicken and leek mini pies with beautifully structured crusts. Along the way we’ll cover dough handling, crimping styles, filling consistency, and how to build pies that bake up deeply golden, crisp, and balanced.
Designed as a true “pie flight,” this class gives students the chance to experience sweet, savory, rustic, and structured pie making all in one evening while building confidence with foundational pastry techniques. Students leave with three seasonal pie recipes, a better understanding of scratch-made dough, and a collection of cozy autumn baking skills ready for gatherings, holiday tables, and those first few Florida evenings that finally dip below “surface of the sun.”

Japanese Soufflé Pancakes Two Ways

$189.00 Per Station (Suitable for Dynamic Duos- see below for more details)
In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to make Japanese soufflé pancakes two ways — the classic vanilla version and a stunning ube variation topped with coconut whipped cream. These jiggly, cloud-like pancakes are all about technique, and we’ll walk you through every step so you can nail them at home.
We’ll start with the science behind what makes Japanese pancakes so different from a traditional stack — the meringue, the fold, the steam. You’ll learn how to whip egg whites to the perfect stiff peak, how to fold the batter without deflating it, and how to cook low and slow with steam to get that signature height and wobble. We’ll also cover how to flavor and color your batter for the ube variation, and how to make a light, tropical coconut whipped cream that pairs perfectly with the earthy sweetness of ube.
You’ll leave with two gorgeous stacks, a solid technique you can replicate at home, and a serious upgrade to your weekend brunch game.

Each student will fry 2–3 fritters in class, gaining hands-on experience with temperature control, timing, and achieving that perfect golden exterior while keeping the interior light and pillowy. Additional pre-fried fritters will be provided so students can focus on finishing techniques, shaping, and consistency.
To complete the experience, keri will teach you how to master the art of browning butter to its nutty, aromatic peak and transform it into a silky vanilla bean glaze that sets delicately over warm fritters. The result is a seasonal treat that balances crisp edges, juicy fruit, and a glossy finish that tastes like pure summer warmth.
