Kids' Cooking Classes Teaching Next Generation of Chefs

Dianne Palmieri of Greensburg is an advocate for building “kitchen confidence” in kids. A children’s cooking instructor with 15 plus years experience says her mission is to get boys and girls excited about creating delicious and nutritious food.
“Increasing children’s confidence in the kitchen is so important,” she says. “When children are invited into the kitchen as active participants they see how much fun cooking can be. They learn wonderful lessons about eating well that will serve them all their lives.”
In addition to hands-on classes she offers for groups through her Children’s Cooking Connection business, Palmieri also teaches children’s cooking classes through the continuing education departments at Westmoreland County Community College (WCCC) and Community College of Allegheny County’s (CCAC) Boyce Campus in Monroeville. This fall she also will be teaching cooking classes for children at PA Cyber through their ArtReach program at the Greensburg Center.
Palmieri says she is constantly creating classes with new and different content for children so they can expand their knowledge of and interest in cooking. “One of the most popular classes I offer is Thanksgiving 101, where we prepare a delicious Thanksgiving meal including a turkey breast, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn casserole and homemade cranberry sauce,” she says.
Her upcoming classes for ages 9-13 held from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays at WCCC include: Homemade Pretzels, Oct. 6; Everything Apple, Oct. 20; Thanksgiving Favorites, Nov. 17, and Gingerbread House Workshop (ages 10-13, two-session class), Dec. 1 and 8. At CCAC Boyce Campus, classes include Pioneer Cooking, Sept. 29, and Homemade Bread Soup, Oct. 13.
Our classes provide opportunities for your child to have tons of fun preparing tasty dishes in a safe learning environment. Get your kids excited about creating food and being in the kitchen!
