In our virtual summer cooking classes, Master Chefs teach teens and young adults to thrive in the kitchen by giving them every opportunity to roll up their sleeves and learn by doing in their own homes with ingredients provided right to your door!

Campers work to prep and cook family-style meals that can be eaten and enjoyed in the comfort of their own home after each class. With the guidance of our Master Chefs, young chefs will hone a wide range of culinary techniques while tasting novel flavors and creative dishes. From learning the ins-and-outs of managing a kitchen space to experiencing the satisfaction of sharing a meal you’ve cooked, there is something for everyone at Mangia DC’s Virtual Cooking Camp! All levels of culinary experience are welcome.

How it works:

A total of 12 different menus will be taught throughout the summer, featuring dishes from around the globe as well as familiar favorites. Each cooking camp course consists of four days of themed classes taught in a progressive format. Campers are encouraged to sign up for camp courses (consisting of four consecutive menus) to get the most out of this experience, however individual class sign-ups are also available.

Students will work with Mangia DC Master Chefs via live-stream with the ability to engage and ask questions. Campers learn and practice advanced culinary techniques, knife skills, plating, and professional kitchen management. Students will learn about and make a variety of starters, vegetarian sides, fresh pasta, poultry, red meat, fish, and desserts inspired by global and regional American cuisines. While some prior cooking experience is helpful, any young adult with a passion for food and a commitment to learning is welcome!
