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.

KIDS AND PARENTS COOK DINNER
If your child (aged eight and above) has an interest in cooking, this class will provide them with an exciting, empowering experience by doing something “grown-up” and real, learning right alongside you. Cooking dinner together for the family lets them share how to use a recipe, use cooking tools, and see how everything comes together. Come cook together and in the end your child can proudly say “I made this” and you will have had a priceless shared experience along with new fun meals you share with the entire family. Our lesson is Croissant French Toast; Beef & Broccoli Ramen; Meatball Mozzarella Skillet; Crispy Pasta Caesar Salad; Creamy Chicken & Orzo; Eggroll in a Bowl, and Brownie Bites with Marshmallow Topping.

KIDS COOK PASTA AND PIZZA
This special class for kids (ages 8 and above) provides hands-on experience making Pizza and Pasta. The excitement starts when they learn to transform Dough into a pliable Pizza Crust, stretching & shaping it, then filling and baking it, turning it into beautiful, finished hand-made Pizza. Next, they will make Pasta – stirring Flour, Egg, Oil and Salt together then turning it into Dough, stretching, then cutting it into Pasta shapes. As they learn to make dinner, they also learn measuring skills and recipe reading to make Pizza and Pasta on their own. Sign up for an amazingly fun morning of making Pizza Kabobs; Homemade Pasta Shapes; Teddy Bear Pizza; Pasta Caesar Salad; Pizza Pasta Bake; Caramel Apple Pizza and Spaghetti Cupcakes.
