The Student Kitchen programs run for one or multiple classes and can highlight life skills, nutrition, and budgeting. Students get hands on practice with knife skills, measuring, and following recipes with no kitchen required. You can view our workshop packages or request a lesson template by emailing thestudentkitchennyc@gmail.com.
“I liked learning how to prepare new dishes, especially with peers and students in my school. Cooking club is great to explore and learn about different cultures and backgrounds. I truly enjoy the club because of the opportunity we get to expand our knowledge.” -Arleen, 11th grade
“I like the cooking club because I learn things that I wouldn't really learn on my own time. One time I made white sauce for halal food and I made it again at home for my family. Also Mr. Averbuch has taught many of us some terminology and how to be safe in the kitchen.” - Dylan, 12th grade
“Being in the cooking club has been an amazing experience for me… We get the opportunity to take part in making cuisines which helps us become more confident in the kitchen and in the process we can also alternate some ingredients which shows how much creativity can be made by the cook (us!). I love meeting new people with many backgrounds who volunteer in teaching us a cuisine of their background or in their field of work and I hope to learn more cuisines before the school year ends!” -Tanea, 12th grade
“I really like that I got to taste and make foods from other cultures. I also really like the fact that we got to work as a group!” Nadia, 10th grade
