What is the Creative Kitchen?

The Creative Kitchen™ teaches children about food and how to cook in a fun, safe, and educational manner. The multi-faceted company includes a variety of media outlets which promote the curriculum. Targeting children ages two and older, the company focuses on teaching, writing, producing creative content, and consulting to present educational content through food-related activities. The founder, Cricket Azima, inspires children to express themselves creatively through cooking and the arts. While writing her master’s thesis, – entitled “Children’s Cooking Classes: An Alternative Method to Enhance Learning” – Cricket learned that children retain more of the educational content of a lesson, when using all of their senses, and of course, when having fun in the meanwhile!

Mission Statement

The goal of The Creative Kitchen™ is to produce a positive relationship between children and food – in turn creating healthy eating habits for life. While practicing basic cooking skills, children also learn and enhance other traditional disciplines, such as reading, mathematics, science, social sciences, nutrition, music, art, history, and geography. In addition, children strengthen their motor skills, self-esteem, socialization, cultural understanding, teamwork, independence, and personal responsibility.
