We would like to give kids and their parents an opportunity to cook together. Not struggling with planning, groceries shopping or adding an educational element to some fun time.
We have teamed up with Kids Cooking Green and offer hands-on cooking programs for children. Your kids will learn cooking skills, along with valuable lessons in health, nutrition, the environment, and the benefits of local food and farming.
What to expect:
At each class we will cook, eat lunch together and build a community around a shared kitchen table! There will be lunch served for both kids and adults.
In conclusion, for only $40 a kid and a parent get 2h of structure fun and a delicious lunch served. And because it’s held at CNS there will be time for some fun play too.
**LexFUN! Members will get a reduced price if you register for all 4 events before June 15**

Menu (all items are nut free):
Friday July 14: Pasta PARTY
It’s a pasta party! Kids will learn to make a pasta dough, just like the pro’s using semolina and durum wheat. We will knead the dough, roll it into pasta ribbons and then cut them into spaghetti with our hand crank pasta machines. As our pasta cooks, we will cut up some colorful tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. We will smell the basil, gently tear the leaves and toss with our pasta!
