The schedule of Jr. Chef classes is for kids ages 7-14. Classes focus on teaching kids to enjoy cooking while crafting items that have included beignets and cherry-cola cupcakes or using recipes from Julia Child and Jamie Oliver.

At Young Chefs Academy's long, stainless-steel counter, diminutive cooks press their heads together, working sunshine-hued dough through a pasta roller or peering at recipes. The bank of ovens spills the scents of cooking sweets, and gaggles of young adults meander into teen classes, ready to gain culinary skills or bother a librarian by listening to blenders at maximum volume. Some weeks, the school concentrates on the recipes of a particular chef, with past sessions focusing on the works of Julia Child and Jamie Oliver. As holidays approach, the recipes turn towards the pumpkin-infused confections that define Halloween or the slow-roasted baskets traditionally eaten on Easter.
