Julie Hartigan (chef and mom of Delaney and Lucy) and Lisa Cavanaugh (nutritionist and mom to Hannah and Bronwyn) have been building a business together, called SmartCookies. We are combining nutrition with practical cooking skills to help people really make a change in how they eat.
Part of our strategy is to get kids in the kitchen. We believe the more they know about food, where it comes from, and how to cook it - the better they will eat. We’re excited to let you know we’ll be offering children’s healthy cooking classes for open enrollment this winter and spring.
Our “Kids in the Kitchen” programs are designed for children in grades 2-5 to encourage a natural curiosity about cooking and/or coax a shy eater out of their shell. Each week kids will follow simple recipes, practice basic cooking techniques, learn about nutrition and eating well, and participate in tons of fun hands on activities to get them excited about food and cooking. The programs are co-taught by a Chef and Nutritionist and run for 8 weeks, 90 minutes each week. They are offered in two levels and are designed to be taken consecutively.
Classes will take place on Tuesday afternoons from 3:30-5pm at the Hoboken Multi Service Center on 2nd and Grand St. starting on Tuesday January 24th. The 8-week program cost is $360 including all materials and supplies. A 10% discount is offered for children enrolling in both Kids in the Kitchen 1 & 2.
Space is limited so please let us know if you’re interested in enrolling your child!
For more information about our Kids in the Kitchen programs, including the detailed week-by-week curriculum and specific class dates go to hobokensmartcookies.com and check out “children’s classes”.
We hope to see your child in the kitchen!
Sincerely,
SmartCookies
