End summer break with a bang by giving an exciting gift to your kids. Give them something to talk about when school resume with our Destination online summer camp cooking class. Each Day they learn how to cook a meal or two from a different country/culture from the comfort of their home. Your child, pre-teen or teen will explore the world through their taste buds. We have a delicious, and fun hand-on cooking class that transports your child to a different destination each day. These classes teach children not only how to cook but exposes them to culture. They learn how to make different cultural foods, and use different ingredients, spices, etc. around the world while learning about the culture of the food that they are cooking. Children would learn how to incorporate spices such as ginger, garlic, cumin, curry, etc. in their cooking. Note: None of these meals are made to be spicy (no heat or hot peppers). It is kids and adult friendly for those who do not like spicy foods.
