It’s around the table and in the preparation of food that we learn about ourselves and about the world
– Alice Waters
Cornucopia Project’s youth cooking series, was founded on the belief that food is fundamental, not only because it sustains our bodies, but also because it can feed our spirit and our sense of community.
Our kitchen programs bring students from school gardens to the next steps along the food journey. Partnering with local professional chefs, we equip youth with the knowledge and skills to prepare nourishing foods in creative and sustainable ways alongside their peers.
Spring Youth Cooking Kit Coming Soon!
This spring, spark a love of cooking with our Cooking Kit for young chefs. Designed for learners, this hands-on kit gives kids everything they need to cook a delicious meal the whole family can enjoy.
Each kit serves four and includes pre-portioned ingredients, easy step-by-step recipes, and fun extras to keep cooking simple and engaging. Young chefs get hands-on practice building kitchen confidence while creating a meal to share. Scholarships will be available.
Do you have an idea for a youth cooking kit meal? We would love to hear it! Send us an email at admin@cornucopiaproject.org
