Are you running out of things to do with the kids this summer? Or do you have an aspiring cook in the family? Or maybe you just want to give your little one the cooking bug so you can finally get some support in the kitchen? (kidding!) Whatever the reason, if you have a child between the ages of eight and eleven, here’s your chance to let your kids make a mess in a kitchen that isn’t yours.
Wendy Ripley, a Hill resident and pastry chef/consultant, will be teaching a series of cooking classes at Hill’s Kitchen July 19-23 and July 26-30. Wendy’s work includes testing and writing recipes for Michel Richard’s (yes, of Citronelle) next dessert cookbook — soon to be released by Harper Collins.

Hello,
I was wondering do your ever take children younger than 8 years old, or do you have a younger class that you are offering. Alternatively, do you have a reference for a younger cooking class. I have an 8 year old and a 6 year old. Both love cooking !
