Little Chef's Kitchen

For the first time in many years we are taking the summer off and we will not be offering summer classes or parties. Life with a newborn is filled with so many emotions and changes, and I can’t expect to put pressure on myself to do it all. Some people might think I’m cuckoo, but I miss being in the kitchen Everyday cooking. I’ve had to prep meals and freeze ahead of time, or cook dinner 7:00AM instead of my usual afternoon slot. Some days I just have to carry him while attempting to stir and end up with a mess. Sometimes the messes are stressful, and sometimes I just laugh, but all in all, we don’t get this precious time back with our little ones. We will be back at work in September with classes offered at select schools in their enrichment program and custom parties celebrated in the comfort of your own home or party venue as of October. For now enjoy your time with your families and your summer break ☀️

Today is a very special day for us as we celebrate two people that are very important to my family and to .chefs.kitchen . My sister who is an amazing mom, friend, and pastry chef. Without her support both because of her expertise and her beautiful soul we would not be “sane”... And to my grandmother who is no longer with us and it still hurts like it was yesterday.... We miss you, love you, and thank you always for the beautiful person that you were and all that you taught us. Thank you for instilling in our mom the love for baking & cooking that she passed down to us, and for all the recipes that you handed down so that we can enjoy them with all the generations to come...
Happy Birthday ❤️❤️❤️

Need ideas for Mom this weekend? Make this easy dessert that kids can assist and impress mom on Mother’s Day ❤️ 1) Use an aluminum cupcake liner and fill it with melted chocolate so as to create a layer to form an edible bowl. Let excess drip back into the bowl with the melted chocolate. Place in fridge to chill and set. If your layer is too thin you might have to repeat a second coat.
2) In the meantime make your favorite filling. Mine is homemade whip cream with strawberries and passion fruit sauce but get creative and add what mom likes...
3)Remove aluminum liner from the chocolate and add the filling. Garnish with fruit or extra chocolate.
4) Present to mom with love and P.S. don’t forget to clean the kitchen 😉
