Kids ages 11-17 are invited to our Library Kitchen to learn essential cooking skills. We'll work together to decide what to cook next time, then cook a recipe together. Along the way, we'll learn kitchen safety, essential skills, and some of the science behind cooking. This is a great chance to get kids some (mostly) independent time in the kitchen and build skills and confidence.
