Find a Cooking School for your child in you state
More and more kids are getting interested in learning how to cook. Although I am a huge fan of teaching your children how to cook at home, there are some excellent commercial cooking schools now available to our young adults.
Here is a growing list of some of the schools that I found available on the Internet. This list is for information only and I highly recommend you do your homework and thoroughly check out these schools before sending your kids.
Please be sure to check out my post called Teaching Your Kids To Cook. It describes the benefits of teaching your kids how to cook at home in your own kitchens and a great way to start your children's culinary adventure.

I like your website and would love to have access to the Directory of Cooking schools for kids in Washington State, however that link isn't working in Explore, Firefox or from Google Chrome. How can I obtain this list?
Hi Tracy, I don't think there is even a link for Washington State. I'm still in the process of building it. Please come back soon and I hope to have some resources for you. - RG
