Kids Cook!

Mountain Roots invites kids ages 11-18 to join our Kids Cook! courses, designed to inspire and educate teenagers about the world of culinary arts. Our classes feature fun themes, cooking from scratch, and plenty of tasting. With different recipes each week, kids learn skills to cook delicious meals that are nutritious, organic, and locally sourced when possible.

We offer six-week sessions every fall, winter, and spring in both Gunnison and Crested Butte, as well as additional workshops throughout the year. Allergies are accommodated and spaces are limited.
