Why Foodie Kids Is Austin’s Favorite Cooking Camp
For more than 25 years, Foodie Kids has been teaching Austin kids to cook with skill and creativity. We’ve worked with over 15,000 young chefs — and counting. Our classes are designed to be fun, safe, and genuinely educational.
We believe kids learn best when they’re doing. There’s no better proof than watching a 9-year-old carefully torch the perfect golden peak on their very own meringue.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, cooking with children builds math skills, encourages healthy eating habits, and strengthens confidence — making cooking class one of the most well-rounded activities a kid can do.
