A Note From The Founder - Candace Williams

Kids Cooking Company is an innovative concept in children`s cooking classes which I developed to inspire, excite and feed the curiosity of your growing gourmet. I am an experienced teacher and busy mom with a passion for great food, working with children, and enhancing the family experience. So it just came natural to continue to “teach” in the most comfortable and nourishing place in the home - the kitchen! The experience of cooking is an integral part of life which provides a fundamental way to connect with my children and with the generations of my family. Cooking with my children has enriched my life so much that I decided to share this wonderful experience with other families. So, in 2002, I founded Kids Cooking Company out of my home. As I strived to make important basic concepts tangible for my student gourmets, I discovered even more benefits. These classes provide opportunities to create something tasty in the kitchen, to have a hands-on, up-to-your-elbows blast and to learn many important educational and life skills along the way.

With more than 10 years of teaching experience I not only bring the social fun and excitement of cooking but also provide an experience that is based on developing fundamental life and educational skills for your growing gourmet. I have experience teaching 1st, 3rd, and 4th graders in Highland Park and also taught PreK at The da Vinci School.

I have been interested in cooking since I was a young child and enjoy passing on the joy of creating in the kitchen to my chefs Helen, age 8, and Elaine, age 7.
