Thank you for your kind words, Larry! We're glad to hear you enjoyed your experience with us. We look forward to welcoming you back for more cooking classes soon!
We were given a 1 class gift card and we loved it. My daughter enjoyed her experience. The instructors were patient, knowledgeable and made sure the kids were safe and using utensils properly. In the end, my daughter asked for another class. I recommend to other families for a fun experience and a life skill.

Our granddaughter attennded a 7 year old birthday party here. She had the time of her life! The staff were attentive, and our granddaughter learned a lot. When she left there, she said she wanted to go back for cooking lessons.
Hi Sherry, this is Dennis from Young Chefs Academy—thank you so much for the five-star review. We love hearing that she had such a great time and left excited to continue learning. Since she’s interested in cooking lessons, we do offer a KinderCooks class on Saturdays at 9:30 AM that’s a great next step for young chefs who want to keep exploring in the kitchen. Please feel free to call me at 941-960-8667 and we can discuss the schedule and how to register.
Amazing experience, my daughter and her friends absolutely loved the birthday experience. The instructors were great and very helpful and supportive. Hope to be back here soon!
Hi Tim, this is Dennis from Young Chefs Academy. Many thanks for the five-star review...and I’m so glad to hear that the kids had a great time.
Fun unique party experience! My 9 year old daughter had a pasta making party at Young Chef’s Academy! Everyone not only had a fantastic time but said it was the best pasta they ever had and now want to make fresh pasta at home! Each participant got the recipes to take home as well! The staff was phenomenal and great with the kids! Would highly recommend!
