Great Cooking Classes for Philly Kids

1. HomeCooked — Paoli

Great for those school holidays when you’re not quite sure what else to do with the kids, HomeCooked Paoli offers cooking workshops that last several hours and send participants home with a ready-to-cook meal and dessert (what’s not to love about that?). Workshops and classes are available for young chefs on other occasions so be sure and check the event calendar.
