Our family cooking classes are back! Join us in the second class of our summer series.

Our family cooking classes are back! Join us for the final class of our summer series. We’ll be making an Olivewood famous recipe – Happy Rice along with vegetable dumplings. Happy Rice is my #1 trick for introducing kids to new vegetables, or re-introducing them to vegetables that they previously haven’t liked. It’s an easy week-night staple dinner recipe, along with dumplings, which are hands-on and a great thing to prep now and cook later. This class will be a fun way to connect as a family and learn together in the kitchen, building skills and confidence while practicing adventurous eating habits – plus you’ll make yourself a delicious dinner! Each ticket includes one adult and one child (K-6th grade).
We offer 1.5 hour classes for up to 14 children. ($35/child or minimum of $350)
