The Kids’ Table
2864 N. Lincoln Ave.
Chicago IL 60657
773-235-2665
What they’re all about: Kids cooking classes! They offer these classes because they believe cooking is fun – and a valuable life skill that is getting harder to come by. We do it because “real food” is really good – it tastes good and we need it for strong, healthy bodies and brains. We do it because the best way to get kids loving real food is to get them in the kitchen measuring, mixing, chopping, touching, smelling and tasting.
