IS THIS PROGRAM THE RIGHT FIT?

Kind Kitchen programming offers a rigorous culinary experience — both emotionally and logistically. Participants will stand and actively cook for extended periods. Before registering, please honestly assess whether you or your child meet the following criteria. The ideal participant:

Can follow multi-step instructions in a fast-paced kitchen environment.

Has the physical stamina for active, hands-on cooking sessions that require standing for extended periods.

Is comfortable working with a wide variety of ingredients, including but not limited to gluten, dairy, eggs, shellfish, proteins, oils, and common kitchen staples.

Is ready and motivated to develop substantive culinary skills in a structured, professional-style setting.

We want every participant to fully engage with and benefit from the experience. If you have concerns about whether this program is the right fit for you or your child, please reach out to us at [email protected] before registering.

IMPORTANT FOOD ALLERGY NOTICE

We cannot accommodate food allergies at this time. While we try our best to maintain a no-nut facility, we cannot guarantee a nut-free or allergen-free environment. Our kitchens handle a wide range of ingredients including but not limited to nuts, tree nuts, gluten, wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, shellfish, and fish.

If you or your child has a food allergy, sensitivity, or dietary restriction that could pose a health or safety risk, you should not register for this program.
