Bliss Belly kitchen offers eco-conscious and soul conscious cooking classes utilizing farm fresh ingredients, yoga, and mindfulness to give children the best possible connection to themselves and to the land and source where their food comes from.
Learn to make simple, delicious, and nutritious meals. We use healthy locally sourced organic ingredients to teach children about the basic fundamentals of healthy cooking and eating. Participants learn to source, cook, and eat delicious recipes.
Whether it’s packing a lunch, making a snack, or helping to prepare a family meal, these students will be prepared to support busy family life challenges with a new found knowledge and empowerment around cooking and good food!
farm to table cooking
Can’t get your child to eat their vegetables? Research shows that children are more likely to eat a new or even a familiar food when they have been involved in the cooking process. That is our experience here at Bliss Belly Kitchen! We incorporate local, seasonal organic fruits and vegetables into every dish.

yoga and breath work
A happy belly starts with a happy mind. That's why we start each day with a yoga and meditation session to recharge the body, mind, and spirit before we enter the kitchen and make delicious food!
