Kids Cuisine

A few years ago, my husband and I took a cooking class together at one of the better Italian restaurants in D.C., Galileo. Under the capable instruction of Chef Roberto Donna, we learned how to craft the perfect risotto. I also learned a few other important kitchen tips, namely 1) Restaurant kitchens are VERY hot and 2) It is not a good idea to drink white wine to quench your thirst.

Galileo has since closed, but Chef Donna is still cooking in the area at Bebo Trattoria in Arlington. I haven’t been to the new location, but I was particularly excited to receive an email yesterday announcing Donna’s new series of cooking classes for kids and their parents.

Adult cooking workshops are a pricey $140, but the kids classes are only $45 per person. Children must be at least 8 years old and accompanied by a parent. Your junior chef will learn how to cook either authentic pizza or pasta, and of course the class includes a hearty lunch.

If you are in the D.C. area, this class is worth jumping on. If the kids class is anywhere near as good as the adult class, your child will be making you world class meals in no time!
