kids birthday parties
THE DETAILS
Kids birthday parties at Sugar & Olives are conducted as an interactive cooking class for up to 14 kids,* with one chef and one assistant (parties for more than 10 kids will have two chefs present.) All kids participate in preparation and cooking, according to tasks appropriate for their ages.
A healthy meal is prepared as part of the lesson (can be breakfast, lunch, tea, or dinner) and is eaten at the party. Cupcakes for dessert are included, as are snacks and beverages. Menus are chosen by the birthday child and are based on his or her preferences, with any food allergies taken into consideration.
Also included are “goodie bags” filled with treats that the kids make at the party (granola, chocolate crunch bars, candy marbles, chocolate bread.) Kids will receive printed recipes to take home, too. Parties range from 1.5 to 2 hours. Kids are encouraged to bring an iPod with their favorite music to play over the house speakers.
Children will learn skills such as measuring, chopping, making an emulsion, using a Cuisinart, mandolin and other friendly appliances, heating techniques, and food safety/personal hygiene.
Everyone participates, and everyone has fun!
