This is a 4-week program designed to ignite creativity in your child. This program is offered weekly. We will take our students on a culinary journey in this hands-on cooking class! We will learn how to make various meals while igniting creativity, strengthening skills, and building confidence in each session. Students will complete this program feeling excited to take on more challenges in the kitchen. No previous chef experience is needed and beginners are always welcome.

Students will eat what they prepare, execute recipes learned at home, build confidence, and most importantly create memories that will last forever.
We will be following the most up to date guidelines provided by Alberta health Services and the Government of Alberta. We will inform you of requirements to attend the camps such as the use of masks and temperature checks prior to day 1 of our school. We will follow all necessary protocols to ensure a safe environment for all participants. We will keep you posted on the most recent protocols as we draw close to school. We want to use this opportunity to thank you for your understanding.
Nini’s Cooking School is one of our favourite time of the year. It allows us the opportunity to build relationships, go in-depth and get even more creative in the kitchen, learn global cuisines, and laugh while enjoying tasty meals. This is because we have more time to bring out the best in your child.
