The LIFT Enrichment “Recipe” for Success
Our mission is to empower kids for life so they cook healthy meals at home and eat more vegetables. We see how kids are not learning the basics of cooking like they used to in the past through “home ec.” Kids are eating out at fast food restaurants and growing up to become adults with no idea how to make a hot, healthy for themselves and their loved ones.
Often kids are picky eaters, who refuse to eat vegetables. How do you get them to change?
Here are some key ingredients of a LIFT Enrichment culinary experience
Interactive Teaching:
Taught by fun and engaging Chef Teachers who know how to get kids inspired to cook.
No Kitchen Required!:
Our cooking is done safely with electric hot plates in any classroom with a sink to make
