Butter Beans Farm to Table Kids Cooking Class
Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. I received a complimentary class. All opinions are my own.
My boys love being in the kitchen and whenever they help out, they tend to eat more because they helped make the dish. Butter Beans Kitchen has a line-up of Kids cooking classes taking place at Asphalt Green in Battery Park City and we were able to attend and cook with them! These classes feature the farm-to-table process and teach little ones about reducing food waste, utilizing local ingredients, food preservation and even food styling!
The Butter Beans Kitchen class we attended had a Mediterranean themed menu and everything looked fresh and inviting. The mini chefs were able to use all their senses to examine the ingredients they would be working with.
The little chefs each had a prep station of their own where they prepped the ingredients for the meal, gathering scraps to compost. While prepping Chef Giselle taught them some fun facts about the ingredients, methods as well as fancy culinary language.
The chefs were taught cutting techniques which they practiced with kid-safe cutlery. Everything was prepped and the head chef pulled it all together.
During the 2 hour class, they made a full meal including dessert and a drink. At the end of the class, they sat and ate together, family style. The boys loved eating the couscous they made and even had seconds!
Moroccan Couscous + Mashed Acorn Squash (Acorn Smiles)
And to wash it all down,they made a delicious Mudded Mint tea that they sipped on throughout their meal. The dessert they made was healthy and super delicious too!
Muddled Mint Tea + Pear Compote
The boys really had a great time, learning about Mediterranean cuisine as well as trying some new foods that they now love.
