Cooking with Kids is a non-profit that partners with Los Niños to provide experiential learning with healthy food.

Started in 1995, Cooking with Kids works in school classrooms and cafeterias, providing free-of-cost nutrition education, while giving kids confidence in the kitchen.

Cooking Lessons:

Cooking with Kids provides hands-on learning with real food to over 6,000 elementary school students. Cooking classes are fun and positive experiences with healthy foods.

We use real food with real kids. And they eat it! What’s our secret? Kids are more excited about tasting foods that they have washed, whisked, measured, mixed, sliced, diced, minced, mashed, torn, or tossed.

Cooking lessons support academics.

Hands-on learning provides opportunities for students to practice essential literacy and math skills. Plus kids learn and practice food preparation skills, build self-confidence, and develop communication skills!
