Elements of Taste - Kids After-School

In this 8 week course, we will begin to understand the tastes and flavors that affect the recipes we are creating and can make or break a good meal! This class will highlight the essential elements of taste. We will travel the globe, each week focusing on a specific flavor profile. Salty, Picante, Sweet, Tangy, Aromatic, Herbal and Bitter.

We will work on fully composed dishes gaining a better understanding of the complexities of recipe development and our enjoyment of food. This is one of the staff favorites, and seems to be a kid favorite too. You will be begging your kid to make you dinner after this!

Ages 6-13! (If you have a 5 year old who is in kindergarten who would like to join, they are welcome as long as they have completed some school)
