Kids Cook!

Mountain Roots invites kids ages 11-18 to join our Kids Cook! courses, designed to inspire and educate teenagers about the world of culinary arts. Our classes feature fun themes, cooking from scratch, and plenty of tasting. With different recipes each week, kids learn skills to cook delicious meals that are nutritious, organic, and locally sourced when possible.

We offer six-week sessions every fall, winter, and spring in both Gunnison and Crested Butte, as well as additional workshops throughout the year. Allergies are accommodated and spaces are limited.

KIDS COOK! SPRING COURSE 2024

“SPRING INTO LIFE”

Step back into the kitchen to celebrate the blooming of spring! Explore the bright flavors and fresh ingredients of the first harvests of the season -  think colorful salads bursting with crisp veggies and seeds, cool fruity smoothies, creamy fresh herb cheeses, garden-fresh main courses, and spring desserts like a tangy rhubarb crisp with a crunchy oat topping.  Each week we'll cook up delicious dishes that capture the essence of the season, so young chefs can delight in the wonders of seasonal cooking inspired by Colorado's vibrant spring harvest. With each session, children will hone their culinary skills, learn kitchen safety, and cultivate a lifelong love for cooking.
