Skip the Takeout — Make It Instead at Our Kids Cooking Camp Austin
Want to turn takeout night into a hands-on adventure? Our kids cooking camp Austin event, Homemade Take Out, gives campers the skills and confidence to recreate their favorite restaurant dishes from scratch. On Monday, October 12th from 10 AM to 1 PM, Foodie Kids is hosting a one-day camp packed with global flavors, kitchen know-how, and a whole lot of fun.
What Campers Will Make
This is no ordinary cooking class. The Homemade Take Out menu features dishes from around the world:
- Vegetable Lo Mein — a classic Chinese noodle stir-fry
- Mini Calzones — cheesy, golden Italian pockets
- Garlic Naan — warm, pillowy Indian flatbread
- Gyoza — Japanese pan-fried dumplings
- “Fried Rice” Cupcakes — a creative, sweet twist on a takeout staple
Kids will practice real cooking techniques — folding dumplings, rolling dough, and stir-frying noodles — while learning about different food cultures. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, children who cook their own food are more likely to try new foods and develop healthier eating habits long-term.
