Family Cooking Classes: A Fun Culinary Adventure

Cooking together as a family is a fantastic way to bond, have fun, and build confidence in the kitchen. Sur La Table’s Family Fun Cooking Classes turn mealtime into an exciting, hands-on experience where kids and caregivers create lasting memories. With guidance from expert chef instructors, families can explore new flavors, learn essential cooking techniques, and discover just how fun it is to cook together.

Why Choose Family Cooking Classes?

Cooking is more than just making meals—it’s about teamwork, creativity, and life skills that last a lifetime. Our family cooking classes offer a welcoming environment where kids and adults cook side by side, learning valuable lessons along the way.

Building Bonds in the Kitchen

Rolling out dough, whisking batter, or layering ingredients—it all becomes more meaningful when done together. Cooking as a team strengthens communication, encourages cooperation, and creates a sense of accomplishment. Plus, sharing the joy of a meal you made together is one of the best ways to connect as a family.

Developing Essential Cooking Skills

Cooking at a young age helps kids build confidence and independence in the kitchen. They’ll practice measuring, mixing, and chopping (with safety in mind), while also learning about nutrition and healthy eating habits. These hands-on experiences set the foundation for a lifetime of cooking and enjoying homemade meals.

Cultivating a Love for Cooking and Food

Getting kids involved in the cooking process makes them more likely to try new foods and explore different flavors. Whether they’re kneading dough for fresh pasta or assembling a colorful fruit tart, every class is a chance to ignite their curiosity and creativity in the kitchen.

Popular Class Formats and Themes

Sur La Table offers a variety of class formats and themes to suit different ages, interests, and skill levels.

Mommy and Me Classes

Designed for caregivers and children to cook together, these hands-on classes make it easy to share quality time while learning new skills. Led by professional chef instructors, families will work in small groups of four at shared workstations, preparing delicious recipes from scratch. Classes typically last two hours and are limited to 12-16 participants to ensure plenty of personal guidance.

Kids & Teens Summer Series

For young chefs eager to dive deeper into the culinary world, our multi-day summer series is the perfect adventure. Available May through August at select Sur La Table locations, these courses are tailored for kids (ages 7-11) and teens (ages 12-17). Each session explores different techniques, from baking and knife skills to international flavors and gourmet meals. Learn more about our Kids & Teens Summer Cooking Series.
