The Healthy Home – Cooking Class

Summer break is the perfect opportunity for parents to implement healthy eating habits at home. While there is no argument that it is easier to stock up on packaged foods for easy meal prep and picnics at the beach, it’s doing little good for our family’s overall health, cognitive development, and behavior.

For over a decade, Angela Kuzma, co-founder of the Ken-yen Learning Center has been preparing and serving her 20+ students healthy, vegetarian meals. At their home school, all students assist in growing and harvesting the school’s vegetables, and create the meals served each day. Over time and through trial and error, Angela has created a rolodex of quick and nutritious child-approved meals. She has discovered that with a fun name, bright flavors, and creative plating, children will enthusiastically devour healthy dishes. The chef’s kiss to any family meal is inviting your child to be a part of the entire process so they feel ownership and pride in their food choices.

In this class, Angela will teach Ken-yen’s favorite vegetarian dishes, including Breakfast Cake, Macaroni and Cheetah, Surf’s Up Smoothie Bowl, and the Tower of Veggies served with Angela’s favorite vegan dipping sauce.

We will create dishes that stabilize your child’s blood sugar, help boost brain power, and detox their growing bodies.
