Li'l Kids (5-8): Little Kids Cook in Little Italy....Including Homemade Pasta

Today, mini-Italian chefs (ages 5-8), and their adult partners, will take a trip across the ocean to Little Italy with one of our popular ‘little kids’ instructors, Ariel Johnston. 

With over 140 nutrition and cooking classes to kids and adults through the Kansas City area for the local food bank, Harvesters, under her belt, you can rest assured that you’re in very capable hands with this engaging instructor. Plus, she’s lots of fun! 

We’ll begin our interactive culinary journey as Ariel teaches you how to make pasta - from scratch. That’s right! It’s so easy (and fun), even the tiniest chefs can do it! 

Next, the kids will get their hands in on even more cooking action as Ariel teaches basic culinary techniques like knife skills (with kid-friendly knives, of course!), stirring, the proper way to measure, and more, that you’ll practice as you create a tasty sauce that will pair perfectly with your homemade pasta. 

Finally, we’ll end our Italian feast with one of Ariel’s special creations - Cone-oli’s – a unique twist on a classic Italian dessert that you’re gonna love.

Important:  We require a waiver to be signed on behalf of each student by a parent or legal guardian prior to your child’s admittance to this class.  This waiver requests a phone number where you can be reached during the class if necessary, and names of any additional people who are authorized to pick up the child after class.   We strongly encourage you to print off a copy of this Waiver and bring it to class with your student.  If we don’t receive a signed Waiver, your child will not be allowed to attend class.  We are sorry but we cannot make any exceptions to this rule.  If someone other than the parent drops off your child, they will need evidence that they are the legal guardian for your child in order to sign a Waiver at that time.  For safety reasons, we also recommend that students under 18 wear close-toed shoes, long pants and have long hair pulled back.
