Five culinary schools for children. Culinary mugs for kids
Do you want your children to be able to bring you not only a glass of water in old age, but fettuccine with mushrooms, salmon pancakes and even a ribeye steak? Then we listen carefully and write down - I will tell you about the most interesting culinary courses in Moscow. Some of them you can go through together, and some without even leaving your home. Go!
The course "Let the children into the kitchen" of the culinary studio of Yulia Vysotskaya
Tickets from 2500 rubles
I think many mothers dream of getting to the classes of the culinary studio of Yulia Vysotskaya. Why not do it with the kids? There is a special course "Let the kids in the kitchen" - this is a series of classes for children and parents, where little gourmets learn how to cook simple and tasty dishes, and parents act as helpers and spectators. The next master class will take place on September 16, and I would recommend mothers and daughters go to the lesson, as pink burgers and a strawberry cocktail will be prepared. You can sign up on the studio website.
Children's online culinary school of the project "Food.ru"
A course of 30 lessons from 27 thousand rubles, the next course starts on October 6
By the way, you can take a powerful culinary course without leaving your home. In early September, the Food.ru project launched an online culinary school for children. Children from 9 years old can do it, it will be very difficult for younger children. The course includes 30 lessons and 8 very appetizing topics. For example, soups, sauces, dough, desserts and pies. The organizers advise to take at least two lessons per week. My colleague, 12-year-old Leo, and I went to the kitchen of the Food project to take an offline master class and give our recommendations. The lesson for us and for all participants of the course will be held by the famous chef Vitaly Tikhonov.
How will the course work? The child is given a branded apron, a notepad for notes (they are required) and access to detailed video tutorials. The child watches the training video, writes it down, tries to cook it on his own and during the day can ask his questions to the chef mentor. At the end of the course, the child can take the exam if he is ready.
“We are introducing very strict safety regulations, this is the most important thing, and today we have demonstrated this. Cooking should start safely and end the same way. We pay more attention to cutting and kneading techniques (dumplings, pasta, bread, etc.). For example, we have a special burger, the dough for which we knead ourselves with boiled jacket potatoes - a very unusual recipe for bread. Everything is twisted so that the products are simple, but in unusual interpretations. By the way, this course will be interesting not only for children, but also for adults, because for those who did not dare to cook something more than chicken nuggets, pancakes and Russian salad, it will help them discover new qualities in themselves, as well as learn about the culinary world.”
The best part is that the organizers do not flirt with the children's menu. That is, cheesecakes, nuggets, burgers, which children can learn to cook without a chef, are not included in the menu. Here they will teach dishes more complicated and tastier. This instills a taste in the child and allows children to surprise their parents and friends with their success.
“Today we prepared Mexican dishes and a salad. It is convenient to eat at school as it is nutritious and healthy. I saw a sweet potato - it's a big sweet potato, it's orange inside, it's the first time I've seen one! I learned how to properly and beautifully cut cucumbers, use a frying pan and serve dishes. Now I want to go to their channel and watch the video as I love to cook and want to be able to do more.”
Also, do not forget about the cooking courses we have tested before.
take place every day at 14, 17 and 19 hours. And here very charismatic cooks and animators work with your children - it's checked!
. For example, burger parties. In addition to specialized and serious courses, children can go to trial master classes (preferably with their parents): on September 15 there will be a lesson in healthy breakfasts, and on September 17 - a fish master class.
If a child offers to help, be patient and try to accept this "help" with joy, even if sugar gets into the soup, and oil lazily washes the shores of your kitchen.
And in order to minimize grocery costs, contact the professionals by giving your child to. There, your child will not only learn how to cook their favorite dishes, but also learn about safety rules in the kitchen and, perhaps, discover a real talent in themselves.
On a note! Laid out information at the time of writing.

Culinary traditions are one of the most important in the history of any nation. National cuisine is often a symbol of a particular country. Unique recipes are passed down from generation to generation, the ability to cook deliciously always distinguishes real owners, regardless of gender. In a word, cooking is an occupation that has both purely practical skills (process food, cook food) and an aesthetic component. No wonder the craft of cooking is often compared to art.
Young citizens can learn it in various leisure and cultural institutions: studios, art houses, development centers. Boys and girls will get acquainted with culinary traditions, painted in national colors, learn cooking in practice. Of course, these are not specialized training programs, as, for example, in schools and colleges - the guys do not master the profession, but acquire only the most important skills, but certainly in a good mood!
Therefore, we can safely say that these classes allow children to gain both theoretical and practical skills, develop creative imagination and activity, and find new friends who are passionate about this kind of work. Cooking will be interesting not only for girls, but also for boys. And the leaders - real masters of their craft - will be able to interest everyone.
How to make your own milk chocolate
Perhaps, chocolate occupies one of the first places among young chefs - they love not only to eat it, but also to create it. For many children, the process of preparing treats is akin to a miracle. It is not difficult to make it: you will need butter (50 gr.), Milk (30 ml), 100 grams of cocoa powder, 10-15 gr. granulated sugar. First, milk is heated - to a temperature of 60-70 degrees, then sugar is added to it. All this is mixed up. After that, the butter is melted - on the stove or in a water bath. The next step is adding milk with sugar to the butter. All this is poured with cocoa, while the mixture must be constantly stirred to avoid lumps. The resulting "cocktail" is cooked over low heat for several minutes (no more than three). It remains only to remove the product from the heat and put it in the refrigerator, having cooled before that.
The first steps in the kitchen, or How to introduce cooking from an early age?
Before the child can prepare the first breakfast on his own, it is necessary to arouse in him an interest in the process of cooking. From early childhood, the kitchen for the baby is a place of attraction, and it is important to support his curiosity. Seeing how mom cleans, cuts, fries, the child tries to imitate. No need to refuse his feasible contribution, fearing that he will break something or get hurt. Give him the easiest job, such as stirring the dough with a spoon or whisking the finished cupcake. To avoid injury, any actions of the baby must be controlled. To do this, stock up on patience and courage. Up to three years, his assistance will be the most minimal. Only later will he be able to perform more complex actions and understand that cooking is also part of creativity and art.
Little helper in the kitchen: how and what to do with a three-year-old child?
Even at three years old, kids can help their moms and dads in the kitchen. They can be tasked with mixing the dough for making pancakes or stuffing pizza. Also, children will be happy to pick lettuce leaves to decorate the dish with them later. Or you can just ask the boys and girls to turn the pages of cookbooks.
Cooking lesson for children: what should be provided?
Many adults cannot but rejoice when they see small children enthusiastically engaged in a common cause. Often this becomes a cooking class. But before you start it, you need to make sure that each child has enough space in a real or imaginary kitchen. It is important to give each young cook their own task or come up with tasks that can be exchanged. Of course, it’s worth preparing kitchen utensils, food and clothes ahead of time - it’s better to take hats and aprons so that the children feel like real chefs! Dishes should be simple and quick to prepare. At the same time, the food should be tasty and already familiar to everyone. It is worth thinking about what to do with boys and girls when the dish is boiled, fried or baked.
For children, holidays are a joy: so much free time! For parents - a headache: what to do with children so that they do not start to go crazy with boredom. Children's centers, parks, playgrounds, cinemas, museums ... And you can also teach kids how to cook! We have compiled a list of places where children's cooking classes are held.
Culinary classes for children are held in the AnderSon cafe all year round, but for the summer they have come up with a special "Summer Culinary Academy". Each month was divided into four themed weeks. So, in June it will be "ART-Food and Origami", "Fresh-Week or Vegetarian Dishes Week", "Hot Italy or Explosion at the Italian Factory" and "Sweet Lovers Week". Recommended age - from 4 years. AnderSon compares favorably with most other children's culinary studios in that here children learn to cook not only sweets, but also ordinary food - salads, pastas, and so on. Classes are held in different cafes of the network, you can follow the schedule on the website of the AnderSon network.
At the magical MoominCafe there is a Moomin Cook School. Confectioner Aidina Muratalieva teaches children from four years old how to bake cupcakes, tartlets, cookies, cakes and even real cakes. And before Easter, for example, children mastered the preparation of Easter cakes. You can do it both with the help of parents and on your own, while mom is drinking coffee.
In fact, in the culinary studio of Yulia Vysotskaya, adults learn to cook. But there is also a course for children - it's called, "Let the children into the kitchen." The course consists of 4 lessons that are not interconnected and can be attended separately. The program is mainly sweets - glazed apples, sweets, gingerbread and so on. Classes are designed for children from 6 to 12 years old, you need to come to them in a pair with one of the parents.
It is unlikely that anyone will go to Altufievskoye Highway for the sake of children's activities, but for residents of nearby (and very densely populated) sleeping areas who do not want to drag themselves to the center of Moscow, this option is perfect. On Saturdays and Sundays, children from 5 to 10 years old are taught how to bake. The recipes are simple, but very effective and will surely take root in your home.
Held on Saturdays and Sundays at 15.00 and 17.00. Here, as in AnderSon, children are taught not only to bake, but also, for example, to make meatballs. It is inconvenient that the topics of the upcoming master classes are not announced on the club's website: you need to clarify them every time by phone.
