Kidding Around the Kitchen provides cooking classes and demonstrations geared toward the family.

I just attended one of the classes with my daughter today, "Wok and Roll" at the Japanese American Museum.

Todays class was "A hands-on cooking class of easy and healthy stir fry and sushi recipes the whole family will love."

The class size was small and there were enough work stations for every child to try to make something different. The work stations included:

Farmers Market Rainbow Stir-fry
Thai-riffic Chicken
Pasta and Veggie Stir Fry
Cucumber and Avocado Sushi
Mexican Sushi Bites
Crispy Candy Sushi
Moo Shu Vegetable
Roasted Color flower
Sun Tea

My daughter was only interested in making sushi everything and we were successful in working the three stations that made sushi.

After the class was finished making the dishes, all of it was laid out buffet style for us to try everyone's handy work. Chinese take out boxes were provided for taking home what we made.

The food itself wasn't "fine cuisine" but the class was very informative, fun and provided a great opportunity for kids to try a food they typically wouldn't try at home or even at a restaurant. Even though, I consider myself a foodie and a well-informed cook, I did learn something new from the class and it was simple enough that it got my nine year old daughter interested in cooking! We were also able to get all the recipes in a handy dandy stapled handout.

I learned that Kidding Around the Kitchen provides weekly demo's Sunday's, 10-noon at the Hollywood/Atwater Farmers' Markets.

I look forward to taking my daughter to the next class.
