We are thrilled to welcome so many budding young chefs to our weekly cook-along classes. At Kids in the Kitchen, we focus on teaching essential life skills while ensuring a fun-filled experience. But don’t just take our word for it—read what our members have to say below!

The classes are amazing for kids. Giving them their little bit of independence in the kitchen but also getting them to try different foods that you know yourself……..If Mammy or Daddy put in front of them they won’t touch!!! Making it themselves they are willing to try it and then realise they like it. Couldn’t get over Pippa yesterday evening taking full control, she was in her element and so proud ❤️

I have three children aged between 2 and 7 and we love our Tuesday cooking class. My 2 year old always says ‘Yay Cooking!’ 🙂 It is really helping us to try new dishes, new tastes and new life skills. Sometimes we even have cousins and neighbours popping in helping too and they love it also. It is a fab fun class and we love the chats and making friends every week. Thank you Jolene and Lils.

What a find Kids In The Kitchen is!!!! It is one of the best things I have done for my 8 year old daughter Lily who has always enjoyed helping me in the kitchen but Jolene and Lils have brought it all to a completely new level!

We love our Kids In The Kitchen Cookery class every Tuesday at 5pm, where Lily makes the most delicious meals for us!  Jolene and Lils are amazing! Jolene is a wonderful teacher and brings everyone along with her – even us slowcoaches, she engages with everyone and never misses anyone out and her encouragement, inclusion and knowledge is fantastic.  The tips and tricks that Lily (and I) learn every week are incredible and what is absolutely fantastic, and what Lily really loves, is watching and following her hero Lils cooking whatever is on the menu that Tuesday!  Lils is amazing and really helps and encourages all the kids (and parents) too!

Everything we have cooked has been truly delicious from American Pancakes, to Chicken Kiev, to Meatball Subs, to Spaghetti Carbonara and to  Tandoori Butter Chicken and that’s just to mention a few.

I cannot recommend Jolene and Lils and Kids In The Kitchen highly enough – thank you so much Jolene and Lils!  And the bonus of having Lily cook us a scrumptious dinner (or sometimes dessert) every Tuesday is wonderful!!! 

The most difficult part of the class is trying to get Lily to leave it!!!! 

My son looks forward to cooking with Jolene and lils every week.

He just loves it and is cooking dishes like lasagne, tandoori butter chicken, carbonara and jambalaya just to name a few. The club has a real sense of community and he has learned skills for life. He never misses a week and even joined on holidays!

Jolene and Lils! Phenomenal class today! Can’t actually wrap my head around the fact that Lily made her own tortilla wraps and prepped her own veg, cooked the meat, and made that wonderful cheese sauce! Simply epic! I’ve said ut before, but hands down these are the best classes I think I’ve ever signed her up for. Her confidence levels are sky high after class each week, and the pride to see us all devouring her efforts. Just makes my heart so full. Thank you to you and Lils for giving her that spark week in and week out, even when it’s challenging and she can’t quite master it,she tries it again another day 🥰 Roll on next week’s class with our wonderful community of budding home cooks/future chefs ❤️finnegan
