With Professional Chef Beck Waldman of Becky's Pixie Kitchen
Through this class, we focus on empowering motivated teens to take charge of what they eat on a daily and weekly basis. We provide instruction that will support teens in the kitchen, helping to build cooking skills to promote their independence and confidence that goes beyond just using a microwave. They get to prepare one delicious meal with their own hands.
