Books & Cooks
Books & Cooks is a fun and interactive class where young students bring their favorite stories to life through cooking and baking! Each week, we’ll pick a beloved children’s book and create a delicious dish inspired by the story—like making Green Eggs and Ham or Stone Soup. Along the way, students will learn basic cooking skills, kitchen safety, and the joy of trying new foods. This hands-on class encourages creativity, literacy, and a love for both books and cooking! (2025-2026)
