The Essex Resort & Spa is excited to launch a hands-on Jr. Chef baking series designed just for middle school students (5th–8th grade; ages 12–15). Over four weeks, budding bakers will roll up their sleeves and dive into the building blocks of baking—butter, eggs, flour, and sugar.
Guided by a professional chef instructor in our Viking classroom kitchen, students will learn how to measure, mix, and master key techniques while creating a new baked treat each week. From planning and following recipes to experimenting with textures and flavors, this series is all about learning by doing.
Every class ends with students bringing home their own fresh-baked creations—plus the confidence and skills to recreate them in their own kitchens.
Dates: September 10, 17, 24 and October 1
Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
$300
