Chances are, if you're reading this blog you're something of a foodie. If you have kids, you may want them to also develop a love of food and cooking. But who has time to inculcate the next generation in the ways of the culinary world? The Young Chefs Academy has just the thing!The organization was founded with the purpose of teaching children as young as three the basics of cooking and kitchen safety. Young Chefs Academy, started by Julie Fabing Burleson and Suzy Vinson Nettles, now has franchises in many cities. They offer classes, mini camps, and birthday parties. Each class includes kitchen safety, food handling and preparation, cooking/baking techniques, presentation, table setting and manners.
Young Chefs Academy is a great way to give your kids a safe and fun environment to learn how to cook, or at least a place to start. So if getting your kids to learn culinary basics is important to you, the Young Chefs Academy may be a smart choice. There's no time like childhood to start a child on a lifelong love of food.

Why do you need a fancy class to teach your kids how to cook? Just let them help you in the kitchen. My 3 year old has been helping to whisk and pour for nearly two years now, and is recently getting interested in spices. She wants to know what every spice in the drawer is, and how it smells, and frequently asks to taste them. She can also recognize several FoodTv personalities on the cover of cookbooks from across the room (as we discovered last week at the grocery store).

You might want to look at what franchise owners are saying about this company.
