Cooking Classes for Kids, Teens and Adults
Join us in our Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez Valley kitchens for hands-on cooking classes! We focus on making delicious, nutritious recipes approachable for all ages. (Yes, all—our Tater Tots series starts at two years old!) You’ll learn knife skills, how to build flavor and customize recipes, and so much more. Of course, we eat what we cook—you won’t leave hungry!
Adult Classes
Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just finding your feet in the kitchen, our adult cooking classes (ages 18+) offer new techniques and plenty of culinary inspiration. From our foundational Basic Skills series to specialty workshops like sourdough baking, knife skills, and regional cuisines, you’ll learn new tips and tricks and feast on your delicious results!
Family Classes
Cooking is more fun when the whole family joins in! Bring the family together in our kitchen and learn side-by-side to prepare delicious meals. These classes are open to all ages, and tailored for children and teens with a family adult. Share your favorite food memories and traditions, build healthy relationships with food and cooking and let the kids show off all their emerging kitchen skills!
Afterschool Classes
Teaching at local schools is AtoZ's bread and butter—it’s how we started out! With our mobile kitchen carts, we bring everything we need to our partner schools for students to prep, cook and enjoy a delicious meal after school. Each week we introduce new recipes and skills (Julienne cuts! Blanching! Balancing flavors!), cook with real stoves and sharp knives, and enjoy each others company over a shared meal. Your child must be a student at one of our partner schools in order to participate in these series.
Summer Camp
The yummiest summer camp in town, according to children everywhere . . . Kids entering grades TK-6th will explore new flavors and techniques, and of course come home with some seasonal recipes to share. Each week features a drool-worthy theme (Noodles! Baking! Euro Trip!), fresh seasonal recipes, arts & crafts, and plenty of foodie-filled fun. Plus, you won't even need to pack a lunch!
Registration for Summer Camp 2027 will open in February. Subscribe to our newsletter to learn more as we get closer.
