Curious about Life Plus Youth Programs? Come see it for yourself.
Our Youth Culinary Open House is a free, hands-on introduction for families interested in everything we offer for young learners — from our weekly Youth Culinary Passport to our Summer Camps.
Step into our teaching kitchen, meet our team, and experience how Life Plus uses food as a gateway to history, culture, science, geography, music, and creativity.
This is not a demo.
This is an experience.
What to Expect
- Kids will prepare a full meal from start to finish— this is not a sample or a quick activity
- This is a full 3-hour session, and kids should plan to stay for the entire experience
- Students are fully hands-on and actively involved every step of the way
- Parents are welcome to drop off so kids can fully immerse themselves
- If you prefer to stay, you’re welcome to relax in our café or in the front of our suite at the Sherman Oaks Galleria
- Meet our instructors and experience how we teach through culture, storytelling, and global cuisine
- Open Q&A for parents covering both Youth Culinary Passport and Summer Camps
Why Attend?
Your child will get a taste — literally and figuratively — of how our program works:
-
We teach real kitchen skills in a supportive, confidence-building environment
-
Every month focuses on a different country or cultural region
-
Kids learn not just how to cook… but why dishes came to be, how people lived, and how food connects us across the world
-
Students explore their own palates — discovering what they love, what they don’t, and how to adapt flavors
-
Our approach nurtures curiosity, global awareness, and creativity
Whether your child has experience in the kitchen or is just beginning, they’ll discover something new here.
