Secret Ingredient Competition: The whole week leads up to this. Working in teams of two, students will take everything they’ve learned throughout the week and put it on display. It’s a fun and friendly competition, and everyone at The Learning Kitchen is a winner, but our judges will have the tough task of choosing the young chefs who scores the highest based on taste, technique, creativity and presentation! The highest scoring chefs will be awarded a prize!

John Williams –
Our 15-year-old is now baking for the whole family — cakes, cookies, you name it. Can’t believe this gem exists right in the heart of DC.
Ashley Smith –
DC Cooking School is exactly what this city needed. Essentials gave my son solid kitchen skills in a fun and structured way.
Sarah Anderson –
Having a cooking school in DC just for kids is such a gift. Baking helped my daughter gain independence — and the cupcakes were pretty great too!
Emily Brown –
There’s nothing else like this in DC. My 17-year-old came home from Essentials talking about mise en place!
Amanda Davis –
As a DC parent, I love that this school gives kids a chance to explore the world through food. Taste the World was a brilliant experience.
Melissa Miller –
Before this, we had to drive out to the suburbs for kid-friendly cooking. Having DC Cooking School in the city is such a blessing.
