If your chef-in-training is a bit older, and a bit more on the sophisticated side, give them the treat of a class at Homecooking New York. There are options to take one-time classes or week-long camps. Regional cuisines are the focus of most classes, from French to Italian to Mexican. Cooking Camp for Kids is an experience not to be missed, which includes basic skills from safety to ingredient exploration, and ends with a Food Network “Chopped”-style finale.
