NYC DYCD
Summer Rising
We currently provide cooking and nutrition programs through the Department of Youth & Community Development's Summer Rising Program.
Kids Cooking & Nutrition Program
Inspiring young chefs.
Interactive cooking classes where children make real recipes — and pick up healthy eating, kitchen safety, teamwork, and confidence along the way.
Where we already teach
Running in New York City programs today.
We're an approved provider delivering cooking and nutrition programming across the city — so the paperwork, the group sizes, and the classroom realities are all familiar ground.
NYC DOE
Department of Education
We also run programming with the Department of Education, bringing hands-on cooking and nutrition lessons into city schools.
In every class
Real recipes, real skills.
Every session is hands-on. Kids cook a dish from start to finish and leave with more than lunch:
- Cooking real recipes — measuring, prepping, and plating something they're proud of
- Nutrition that sticks — what different foods actually do, in language that lands
- Kitchen safety — knife rules, heat, and clean hands, taught before anything else
- Teamwork and confidence — sharing a station, splitting jobs, finishing together

Party add-on
Make your party extra sweet.
Want a party activity the kids actually remember? Add a Dessert Making Class to a birthday, family celebration, or special event. Guests will:
- Create and decorate their own desserts
- Learn the techniques — simple baking and decorating they can repeat at home
- Get fully hands-on from the first step to the last
- Take it home — everyone leaves with what they made
A good fit for children's birthday parties, school events, family gatherings, and corporate family days.
