Our staff looks forward to the yearly team building event with Chef Maria. This year, was extra special due to the restrictions of the pandemic the previous year. We had the Latin menu and a whole lot of fun. The Real Food Academy never disappoints. They... were professional, helpful, fun, friendly, and flexible. Thank you for making our first get together since the pandemic a blast.read more

Spoke to Arthur (owner) ahead of my 10 year old birthday party … he said “you don’t need to bring anything, we’ve got this!”…. And they sure did! He was amazing in running the party - there was not a moment where kids were wondering what to do! The... instructions on how to make pasta were clear, the fun playing while they were cooking was increíble! The food was delish, the girls had a blast! The waffle towers were delicious! Highly recommend The Real Food Academy!!! My 10 year old and her 14 friends are still talking about it!!!! Thank you so much for such a special and effortless celebration for mom! You guys are the best!read more

My daughter had an amazing time at cooking camp last week! She was a little apprehensive about the food she would make (and then have to eat, LOL) but everything was nutritious and delicious! She cooked dinner TWICE last week and even made a snack for... the family today. She has a new found love for cooking and I’m thrilled to have her expert help in the kitchen ;)read more

Kids Rave About Our Cooking Birthday Parties

Don’t throw a birthday party that’s been thrown before! Pass on the pony rides and processed foods this year and throw a kids’ cooking class birthday party in Miami that’s as fresh and fulfilling as the food you’ll prepare.

Our location in Miami welcomes up to 140 little chefs (and their parents) for a fun and delicious cooking birthday experience. Optionally, our mobile service can drive to a party location of your choice (additional charges apply).

From the very beginning, we invite the client to be as hands-on as they wish to be during the planning process. Whether you want to hammer out every detail or leave it all to our professional and experienced staff, we’re ready to accommodate you.

The menus for our kids’ cooking class birthday parties in Miami include meals that children of all ages will love to eat, but they’re made with all-natural ingredients and healthy substitutions. At the Real Food Academy, we live by our mantra: “We don’t change the dish, we change the ingredients!” Not only will your guests get to eat something delicious that they’ve prepared with their own two hands, but they’ll eat healthy, too.

What About The Adults Who Come?

We understand how fun and endearing it can be for family and friends to watch kids during one of our cooking birthday parties as each one prepares and eats delicious, healthy food. But, on an empty stomach, the mouth watering sights and aromas that dance with our guests’ appetite may be too much to handle! :)

That's why we now offer both Savory and Sweet chef prepared food platter's, certain to keep your palate and stomach pleasantly occupied while you're watching.

When You're Here, You're Family

You are more than welcome to decorate the space, bring a cake, hang a pinata, or supply other activities and extras for your child’s cooking class birthday party.

“ Today we celebrated my daughter’s 7th birthday at The Real Food Academy. Chef Arthur is great with the children and did an amazing job teaching the children how to make garlic rolls, pasta from scratch and how to decorate cupcakes. The children were following all the instructions and had a great time preparing their food. The kids got to eat the food they prepared. We also got a few adult food platters, all the food Chef Maria prepared was delicious! Chef Maria set up the main table for us and gave us everything we needed for the party (ice, drink buckets, cups, napkins, etc). The staff were also great and even packed all leftovers for us. 100% recommended!”

“ This place is a true Gem. No other place would've given my daughter this experience for her 5th Birthday other than The Real Food Academy. The highlight of my daughter's Birthday Party was when the owner basically had an open mic go around to all the kids and adults at the table to wish Germany-Love HBD in their own special unique way. I'm now a forever customer. Thank you for your hospitality, and professionalism.”
