Gymtime is all abuzz about our newest program, the Kitchen Little Cooking School! Spearheaded by creator and co-owner, Leah Landon, Kitchen Little will focus on providing healthy meals and food choices to busy families. We are proud to offer children of all ages, as well as adults, the opportunity to take on a culinary adventure that will entertain, enlighten and expand their eating habits.

Through interactive and hands-on classes, Kitchen Little Cooking School will teach kids and adults that food can be fun and healthy and that the kitchen is the perfect creative place to express themselves. All of Kitchen Little’s recipes are vegetarian and nut-free. The kitchen will feature wholesome foods that are free from processed ingredients and refined sugars, but that yield healthful meals delicious enough for the whole family!

The newly renovated kitchen classroom is designed to enhance the learning experience in an esthetically pure, ecologically sustainable environment. It is, most of all, a fun place to learn to cook and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

In addition to the ongoing sixteen-week courses, Kids in the Kitchen, Kitchen Little will also offer Kids’ Workshops, single-class opportunities that give children two years to teen a chance to broaden their culinary horizons. Have fun in the kitchen and let kids of all ages discover what they like most about cooking (and eating!) See below for a description of each class.
