Pizza, pasta, corndogs, cupcakes—kids cook it all themselves (with Chef Joey's help). A birthday party that's hands-on, creative, and way more fun than a bounce castle. Ages 5–18.


YW Calgary Community Kitchen, Inglewood
Our fully-equipped kitchen seats up to 20 for an intimate, hands-on experience.

Cook live from your kitchen
We send the shopping list in advance. Join the class live via Zoom from your own kitchen.
Ages 5 to 18, split into age-appropriate groups. Younger kids (5-7) do simpler recipes with more supervision; older kids (8-18) tackle more technique and independence.
We would recommend 6 to 15 kids max per class so we can give each dish and young chef the attention they need to be well supervised and learn something new. If there are more than 6 in a class I'll bring my assistant. Great for birthday parties, school breaks, summer camps, or just a really cool weekend activity.
Pizza, pasta, corndogs, potato wedges, cupcakes, and other kid-friendly favorites. Menus are hands-on, fun, and result in something they actually want to eat — no "adult food" they pick at. But also some "adult food" they'll want to devour.
Yes — we use kid-safe tools, supervised stovetop work, and age-appropriate tasks. Chef Joey has run 60+ kids' sessions without a single injury.
If you'd rather not have your child chopping, please pre-chop items for virtual classes and indicate to us prior to in-person classes if chopping is not preferred.
In-Person In-home - You are welcome to hover but we've got it. If you have kids who you are not sure of their skill levels we will have a discussion about knife safety and whether we include lessons like chopping at all.
In-Person at Our Venue - Drop them off, go have a drink, and come pick them up
Virtual Classes - Depending on the age of your kiddo you may need to help along the way or if they are older please hover in the background in case they need you to step in for the technology or if they are falling behind and are too shy to tell me to slow down.
Your kid will be talking about this one for years. Let's make it happen.
