This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our event policies, including cancellation, at the bottom of this webpage.

18 Reasons invites all teens, ages 13-18, to join our virtual Teen Culinary Intensive: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Around the World to develop new skills in their own kitchens while feeding their households! Teens will travel through their taste buds from Italy to Japan with a menu full of mouthwatering meals.

This is a four-day virtual session designed to cover many essential cooking techniques from proper knife skills to baking yeasted dough with no prior knowledge required. There is no better way to learn how to cook than by cooking! Doing so in one’s own kitchen empowers students to recreate and adapt recipes based on the confidence imparted by the teaching team. But don’t take it from us, here’s what other online students have said:

"I loved being able to do this in my own kitchen with my own equipment."

"[My favorite part was] the fact that we cooked in our own kitchens and were exposed to different challenges and variations of recipe based upon our own materials and situations."

"I loved learning to cook from my own kitchen with help and feedback. The online format works great."
