Our Annual Passion For Spices™ Around the World Summer Cooking Camp Highlights

We had a houseful of enthusiastic young chefs for our Around the World Summer Cooking Camp 2023. We had seasonal after school classes where young kids came and prepared different seasonal food and enjoyed the food they prepared.

Our fifth week of our camp was our culinary teen competition. In this program, The young teens build their culinary skillset, and was able to prepare a full course menu from a given mystery basket. The food was served to the families and they appreciated and were thrilled to see the gourmet food they prepared.

Passion for Spices Cooking School™ Memories 2021

 
 

Hope everyone has a great start to 2022, even in the midst of these difficult pandemic times. 2021 was a great year where we connected with more clients and introduced more exclusive and curated events.

Here are the highlights of our 2021 events, including our Kids and Teens After School Program, Kids and Teens Summer Camp, Adult Cooking Classes, Private Events, and Corporate Teambuilding.

Summer Cooking Camp Highlights

We had a successful launch of our hybrid Summer Cooking Camp 2020, where we had a combination of kids cooking virtually at home, and in-person at the same time. We also had a Fall and Winter Virtual After School Program, where the kids cooked at home with food ingredients that Passion for Spices™ provided.

At Passion for Spices™ Cooking School our most popular program is the “Farm to Table” week. Especially during the pandemic, parents were interested in having an outdoor experience where kids can enjoy nature and gain culinary experience. This program was appreciated by our camp family members, since it was a great opportunity to mingle with fellow young chefs in an open space where we followed COVID-19 guidelines.

The final day of the Farm to Table week was a harvest feast, where all the families came and celebrated with the young chefs. Everyone was happy to have an outdoor farm to table experience. The kids loved the farm animals, and were sad to leave the new animal friends they made at the farm. Everyone said they can’t wait for next year’s cooking camp!

We are so thankful for all of our team members who helped in running our Annual Around the World Summer Camp. To see the highlights of last year’s Around the World Summer Camp, click here.

After School Cooking Program

We have had an industrious year for the After School program. Both the Fall and the Winter seasonal classes were busy hives of learning, with new and exciting dishes being taught to the students of each. Each class had a theme overall, from the delicious Gallate of the Pie Making Workshop, to the spooky Frightful Cookies of the Halloween Event.

We now are offering in person After School Classes for the Spring Season.

Adult Cooking Classes

Our Adult Cooking Classes are divided into three categories: Mediterranean, Latin, and Asian. Based on season and popularity, we curate different classes with different themes. Some of the popular In-Person Adult Cooking Classes included Taste of Morocco, Beer and Gourmet Bites, Taste of Thai, and Classic Indian Made Easy. Above are some highlights from our Taste of Morocco class which happened before the pandemic hit.

We are pleased to announce that our In-Person Cooking Classes are available again (subject to COVID-19 protocols). We have added a virtual option to each of these classes for those than want to cook from home. To sign up for our new In-Person classes, click here.

Master Classes

We had James Peterson, a renown chef, come teach our masterclass in French cooking in June last year. We also had a special guest from Galicia, Spain, who taught the Evening in Spain event last November

Private Events

In light of the pandemic, we opened our Virtual Cooking School which allowed for cooking classes to be conducted over Zoom.

The highlights and memories of our Virtual Cooking School during these pandemic times were noteworthy. For instance, we hosted a 60th birthday party with our Taste of Tuscany class, and there were four groups of family members cooking at different locations, including a couple in France. The full course Tuscan feast included chocolate mousse for dessert, and it was such a joyful experience for all!

Corporate Team Building

In early January 2020, before this pandemic hit us, we were hosting Corporate Culinary Team Building events where the teams enjoyed various culinary experiences. In the pictures above, Chef Thor showcased Healthy Weeknight Meals to the sales and marketing team of a major corporation.
