Are you ready for a challenge this summer? Kids in the KITCHEN Summer Challenge at the KITCHEN at the Boston Public Market is a one-of-a-kind, hands-on learning experience for young chefs. Each day of programming is an opportunity to learn a new cooking skill, make connections between local food and farming, and have fun! As a property of the Trustees, Massachusetts’ premier land trust non-profit organization, the KITCHEN is uniquely situated to connect kids to the artisans and farmers at the Boston Public Market and to teach culinary skills to last a lifetime.
Each session includes creative, engaging activities, tours of the Market, and a full cooking class all led by our Chef Educator and assistants. Classes will concentrate on mastering specific skills around a different daily topic. Classes include a snack and lunch (kids eat what they cook for lunch)!
