Cruise line offering kids’ cooking classes
Holland America Line (HAL) this summer is launching a kids and teen Culinary Arts Center activity program to “help bring the joys of cooking to the younger set,” the cruise line says.
Taking advantage of the fleet-wide million dollar show kitchens, the premium line now offers classes that teach kids and teens how to make dishes from breakfast to dinner.
“Learning about the culinary arts and cooking isn’t just for adults,” said Richard D. Meadows, executive vice-president, marketing, sales and guest programs. “We’ve developed some fun recipes and classes so that kids, tweens and teens can discover more about cooking from our shipboard chefs.”
The program incorporates dishes from breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in complimentary classes lasting 45 minutes each.
All kids, “tweens” and teens are welcome to attend whether or not they are registered for the Club HAL and teens’ program, according to Mr Meadows.
The preparations range from simple to sophisticated.
Kids under eight years old, for example, will learn to make Bear Tracks (Alaska theme cookies), Fruit Leather (fruit roll-ups), Ice Cream Sandwiches, Salad People Art, and Denali Peaks (Alaska Theme Scones).
Kids eight and over will be making Soft Pretzels, Granola Bars, Pita Chips and Hummus and Saltwater Taffy.
Teens are welcome to attend adult culinary demonstrations as well.
