Sticky Fingers Cooking® brings a nationally recognized cooking school directly to kids, wherever they already are. No kitchen required: our chef instructors bring everything, including portable cooking equipment and fresh ingredients. All we need is a room with tables, chairs, an outlet, and access to a sink.
Every 60-minute class centers on a weekly "Secret Ingredient" that drives that session's hands-on recipe. Along the way, kids get a full dose of enrichment woven right into the cooking: STEM concepts, cultural exploration, literacy connections, and nutrition education. Every recipe accommodates food allergies, and our kitchens are always nut-free.
Here in the Princeton-Hamilton area and across Central Jersey, we offer:
- After-school enrichment classes: weekly series at schools, libraries, and rec centers for kids ages 3-18.
- Cooking camps: full-day and week-long camps built around a rotating lineup of global recipes, plus day-off camps for school closures and school breaks.
- Birthday parties: turn a cooking class into a celebration.
We handle the menu and the mess, and your child's birthday becomes a hands-on adventure their friends will be talking about long after the candles are blown out. Our chef instructors are background-checked, insured, and trained to run a safe, joyful, and genuinely educational session, whether it's a weekday classroom, a summer camp week, or a Saturday party.
Sticky Fingers Cooking® has taught a million kids and counting to cook since 2011. Our Central Jersey team partners with schools, PTOs, libraries, and municipal recreation departments throughout Mercer, Middlesex, and Somerset counties. Whether you're looking for after-school enrichment that's actually fun, a camp option for the next school break, or a birthday party your child will remember, reach out and let's find your Secret Ingredient.
Business Review
Stick Fingers does a program at my daughter's school as a after school activity. She loves it and has done the program for 2 years now !!! It's a good way to get kids to try foods out of their comfort zone. - Christy W.
