  • My daughter was the only student in attendance at today's class which made it extra special. The chef was very patient and amicable. He gave us some history on chocolate before walking my daughter through the process of making her very own chocolate bites. My daughter hopes to become a chef when she gets older and our chef offered insight into his experiences and history in culinary school. I cannot say how this meant to me and my daughter. We look forward to taking other classes at Tache Chocolate and other culinary classes in general.
  • I loved this class because I learned more more knife skills then I knew before. Also I would love to come again. This was a great learning experience for me. I am pretty much out of words.
  • absolutely delighted, though I thought such classes should start in time sharp and not to wait for small group of those who are late. It spoils a lot of the athmosphere and with small children- just difficult on so much waiting time. Not to mantion that those who came in time should be respected more then those who were late... if I am right in that. Otherwise- the stuff are very friendly, easy and flexible around children. My 19m old enjoyed bejewelling her gingerbread castle (and trying candies). Thanks for all. will be back.
  • I love spending that time with my daughter I had a great time
  • My daughter loved the class... looking forward for the next classes
  • My daughter had great time learning about chocolate and creating different types of chocolate candy, bars and letters....it was fun fun fun!!!!

Why Your Kids Should Learn Cooking in NYC

Cooking with kids is a great way to teach young children to take part in household duties and chores, including making dinner from home instead of ordering takeout, and it allows young children to take part in meal planning from a young age.

Other benefits include teaching children how to measure ingredients and improving their mathematical skills. Cooking is an essential life skill that children can learn to gain a sense of responsibility and healthy eating habits.

While picky eaters might be hesitant to try something new, learning cooking may open up young kids to trying out something they made themselves. Experiencing other senses with cooking may convince them to try other vegetables and ingredients they wouldn’t normally eat. Explaining concepts such as how food changes with temperature or how certain foods are healthier than others can be very beneficial for nutrition. Learning how to cook enhances language, reading, and math skills. Learning to cook as a family also helps with family bonding and creating unique traditions and cultures around food.
