Bonjour, chefs! In this hands-on cooking workshop, kids will explore the world of French culinary terms while learning and practicing knife safety. 

Did you know that many cooking words come from France? We’ll discover cool cutting names like:

• Julienne – cutting food into thin matchstick strips

• Dice (Brunoise) – tiny cube cuts

• Slice (Émincé) – thin, even slices

• Chiffonade – rolling leafy greens and slicing them into ribbons

What We’ll Learn:

• How to hold a knife safely

• The “claw grip” is used to protect fingers

• How to pass and carry a knife properly

• Knives are simple machines

• Names and functions of common kitchen knives 

• The importance of proper knife care 

• Why do even cuts help food cook evenly

• Clean workspace habits

Young chefs say oui to kitchen safety and bon appétit to turning celery, carrots, cucumbers, and herbs into beautiful shapes while building kitchen confidence. 

Participants receive a Young Chefs Certificate and a cool infographic to share with parents.

Please send your child with a water bottle and a healthy snack to support their energy and focus throughout the program.
