STEW LEONARD’S NEWINGTON STORE May- August 2024
CULINARY CLASSES FOR KIDS!
WHAT:
Stew Leonard’s Newington store will offer a number of cooking classes for children over the next three months, including classes that celebrate spring and summer. The children receive hands-on instruction in preparing various products as well as learn about the importance of measuring, cooperation skills in the kitchen and the importance of food safety.
Our recipes use common ingredients that may or may not be specified in the menu, including various fruits, vegetables, nuts, meats, spices, wheat flours, etc. The classes are conducted in a facility in which peanuts, tree nuts, sesame and other allergens may be or are present. If you have a food allergy or dietary restriction we should be aware of, please call or email before attending the class. We may or may not be able to accommodate.
Price is per child per class and payment is required at the time of registration. Parents/caretakers are kindly asked to register children at least 24 hours in advance. If a parent/caretaker needs to cancel a class, refunds will be given only if the store is notified 24 hours in advance. Classes will be held in Stew Leonard’s Executive Kitchen on the second floor of the grocery store in Newington, Conn. Children do not need to be accompanied by an adult, except for the classes for toddlers (ages 2-5 years old), which requires an adult to supervise their little one.
