Urban Graze Junior forms part of our cooking school and is aimed at teaching 7-12 year old kids the basic principles of cooking with a fully hands-on approach.  Urban Graze Junior takes the school on the road to your place with our work stations suitable for children of all sizes.  We require the use of a stovetop and an oven and we supply the rest.  There is plenty of bench space for the kids to get busy preparing their food.  We even have little step stools in case height is a problem.  

We make a real effort in using fresh, unprocessed foods that are healthy and appetising for kids.  The children are encouraged to taste each ingredient before they cook it to give them an idea of the purpose for using each ingredient.  We don’t use any pre-prepared foods such as bottled pasta sauces or salad dressings.  All of the kids help prepare all of the dishes including basic vegetable preparation.  Urban Graze Junior is ideal for kids birthday parties and special occasions.

Each class can accommodate up to 12 children with a minimum of 8.  Each class runs for approximately 2 ½ hours depending on the skill level of the children.  For parties over 12 children, we have a special menu where the children are responsible for cooking 5 of their favourite party foods.

An Urban Graze Junior Kitchen Party really inspires kids to cook and share with their parents the new recipes they have just learnt.  The class provides a fun and relaxed atmosphere with lots of laughs.  With each booking, the special birthday person receives a Kids' Toolbox full of kitchen tools.

Included in the package is a fresh herb tasting where we teach the kids what basic herbs look and taste like, a two course meal containing at least four components, an instructor, insurance, and a showbag for $60 per child.  

We can also make special custom made birthday cakes in any flavour or colours.  Prices are according to sizes.  Click here for details from our wonderful cake designer, Johanna from Sweetbite.
