Our classes

The Preschool Cooks
from 3 to 5 years old
●●●
The course (duration: 1h30) takes place in the presence of an accompanying parent. We teach the child the basic rules of hygiene by showing them how to wash their hands properly before starting. After explaining the recipe, we explain how to handle the kitchen utensils and prepare the different ingredients before moving on to the actual cooking.
The benefits for children aged 3 to 5 years:
- He/she strengthens his/her body motor skills and develops his/her fine motor skills.
- He/she awakens his/her palate to new flavors, new tastes (salty, sweet, bitter, acid…) and learns to distinguish different tastes.
- He/she develops his 5 senses through the discovery of food
- He/she develops its vocabulary and learns to describe more precisely what he/she likes/dislikes.
- He/she spends a moment of complicity and sharing with the parents

The Mini Cooks
from 4 to 6 years old
●●●
During this cooking and pastry-making class (duration: 1h30), the child realizes a complete recipe. The course is divided into several stages, including: understanding the recipe, discovering ingredients, washing food, preparing, tasting, testing, seasoning, learning certain gestures, handling utensils, etc. From the age of 4, the child has acquired a certain degree of autonomy and is capable of following this course alone. That’s why the Little Cooks workshop is kids only!
The benefits for the children from 4 to 6 years old :
- They continue to strengthen their fine motor skills by handling small ingredients.
- They develop their creative spirit and their imagination.
- They develop their self-confidence and concentration
- They are exposed to mathematical concepts (division, fraction…)
- They discover fresh food (fruits, vegetables), their origin (earth, plant, tree…) and learn how they are produced/cultivated.

The Little Chefs
from 6 to 12 years old
●●●
During this cooking and pastry class, the child discovers the recipe and makes it along with our indications and advice. If we accompany the child throughout the recipe, it is the child who carries out each step. From the discovery of the ingredients to the preparation of the mixtures, the child can be proud of its dish.
The benefits for children aged 6 to 12 :
- They express their creativity in cooking and baking
- They deepen their vocabulary
- They develop their mathematical skills (units of measurement, fractions, multiplication, etc.)
- They strengthen their dexterity with the acquisition of new gestures (cutting, mixing, peeling, etc.)
- They reinforces their autonomy and self-confidence

The Top Chefs

The course is given in the evening (duration 2 hours). Teenagers favor their social relationships and aspire to a certain independence. This is why we have created cooking and pastry classes designed for their needs. Our classes are an opportunity for them to learn how to eat healthy, with recipes that are easy to reproduce, while evolving in a place that combines education and conviviality.
The benefits for the 12 to 15 year old :
- They broaden their dietary palate
- They learn techniques that will be useful in their life as a young adult
- They develop their autonomy in the kitchen and their self-esteem
- They acquire good eating habits and learn the importance of a healthy, sustainable and balanced diet.
- They will develop their culinary curiosity and food tastes.
