Private Classes for Kids

At Mountain Thyme we can organise private classes for children too. These sessions can be the perfect group event for a birthday celebration, a series of classes to give them fundamental skills or just a really fun, creative activity!

We have over fifteen years’ experience cooking with young children and we promise to make the sessions engaging, lively and educational. We also strongly believe that cookery lessons broaden their food horizons so they will be more willing to try new foods.

We have age-appropriate equipment ready for them to use, a height-adjustable workstation and a raft of delicious recipes at our fingertips. Classes can be arranged to suit your requirements perfectly, and can last from one hour to three hours, depending on your needs and the ages and numbers of children. We tend to focus on savoury dishes principally for health reasons, but sweet treats are not overlooked!

Suggestions for children’s classes include:

Aged 4-8
Cheesy biscuits
Houmous wraps
Oaty salmon fishcakes
Omelette popovers & yoghurt dip
Pea & ham quiches
Scone-based pizzas
Quesadillas with guacamole
Fruit crumble

Over 8s
Chicken biryani

Pizzas
Spicy bean tacobreads

What people say...

We are delighted to cook with our kids at home and find out how much they have learned and enjoyed during their cooking lessons with you while at Verbier International School. We are being taught the Cat method for everything from cracking eggs to making gyoza, it's absolutely great!
Thank you for the great class last night. All the recipes were simple to follow and deliciously tasty. It was really fun spending the evening with you both and the others too, and sharing our meal together at the end. You had me at 'Toblerone'!
Amazing evening spent learning to cook an Indian feast! It was great team bonding and so much fun learning lots of recipes and cooking tips along the way. Everyone enjoyed eating the fruits of their labour afterwards. Already looking for an excuse to come back... would highly recommend!
Just spent a wonderful morning making bread at Mountain Thyme Cookery School - white bread in a dutch oven; rye, honey & date bread; focaccia; sodabread and the best pizza ever. Never eating store-bought pizza again!! Go check out their cookery course, super reasonable as well.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience for my first cookery class for many years. The class was fun and informative with lots of good teaching and advisc on how to improve anyone's culinary repertoire. Cat and Amy go the extra mile to ensure you leave with lots of new skills, some yummy food and a smile on your face.
Mes neveux (Axel et Maxime) étaient là cet après-midi et ont adoré!!! Ils ont dit à leur maman qu'ils voudraient refaire – dès que possible! ;-)
