Back to School, Back to the Kitchen: Fall Cooking Classes for Kids & Teens

Ignite your child’s passion for cooking this September!

As school routines return, so do exciting after-school activities—and at The Chef Upstairs, that means one thing: it’s time to get back to the kitchen. Our fall cooking classes for kids and teens are the perfect recipe for confidence, creativity, and culinary skills that last a lifetime.

Whether your young chef is brand new to the kitchen or already slicing like a pro, our programs are designed to engage and challenge every age and skill level. From chopping vegetables safely to creating meals from scratch, our hands-on approach ensures your child is learning while having fun. With class sizes kept small and led by professional chefs, each session is interactive, energetic, and filled with real culinary takeaways.

Why Our Fall Kids Cooking Classes Are So Popular:

  • Perfect Back-to-School Activity: After long school days, kids unwind by cooking up something fun—and delicious!
  • Skill-Building Creativity: Learn how to follow a recipe, measure ingredients, and explore global cuisines.
  • Confidence in the Kitchen: From knife skills to etiquette, kids gain independence and practical know-how.
  • Great for Teens Too: Our teen cooking workshops in the GTA go beyond basics and introduce restaurant-quality techniques and dishes.
  • Nut-Free Inclusive: All of our classes are 100% nut- and peanut-free, with accommodations available for dietary restrictions.

Upcoming Highlights Include:

  • "Fall Harvest Feast"– A cozy class celebrating seasonal produce like apples, squash, and root veggies.
  • "Global Street Food"– Teen chefs explore flavourful recipes from Asia, Mexico, and the Mediterranean.
  • "Comfort Food Classics" – Learn to make dishes like mac & cheese from scratch, plus homemade soups and cookies.
  • "Holiday Baking Prep"– Get ready early with festive cookies, pies, and treats they can re-create at home.

From after-school weekday sessions to weekend workshops, our fall schedule is packed with September kids classes and fun fall activities for families in Toronto. Spots fill up fast, so now’s the time to book your child’s culinary adventure.

Let’s make back-to-school season taste better than ever.
