KIDS & TEENS COOKING CLASSES
SUBSCRIBE TO SWEET BASIL NEWSLETTER
As soon as Martie Sullivan moved Sweet Basil to a larger space she fulfilled another dream: cooking classes for Kids & Teens. And not just “kids-easy” dishes but the real deal. (See some upcoming classes below.) The TV cooking shows were gaining followers of all ages. Martie wanted to offer them a serious and fun environment with professional chefs teaching them to emulate their TV heroes.
Sweet Basil has classes for Kids & Teen scheduled throughout the year. In addition, we are well known for our Summer Cook Camps!! Classes are also scheduled on Saturdays during the school year and extra classes during vacation periods. Parent Kids & Teen classes are also popular. Check out some of our upcoming classes below.
