Magic

"Today when I saw my daughter clapping her hands I knew that was a sign of a satisfactory accomplishment. She was so into the class. The praises from the chefs encouraged her confidence and motivated her to want know more. My daughter has Asperger Syndrome and it’s difficult for her socially. However, the smiles and claps from her today was simply priceless. Thank you.”

Amazing party!

"This was such a wonderful birthday party experience for my daughter and her friends! The group of 8 year olds had an amazing time, really enjoyed the actual work of cooking and preparing their own food, and eating the delicious food when it was done! The music was fun, the chef was so patient and caring, and the whole experience couldn't have been better for everyone! Really appreciated the little details too, like the aprons and hats for the kids (which they got to decorate), the ice bowls and cups for water, and the cake tray and cutting. Would highly recommend to friends."

— Yasmine

  • Jairo Riveros

    A Fantastic Experience! Barbara had a wonderful experience at The Real Food Academy Summer Camp. What I loved most is that this wasn’t just a fun activity—it gave her new skills, greater confidence in the kitchen, and a genuine interest in preparing and enjoying healthy food. And just as importantly, she made some great new friends along the way! And I’m already seeing the results at home! She has offered to make me breakfast and has already prepared a great salad for me. I have a feeling this is only the beginning, and there is much more to come from our new chef! ??‍? The team at The Real Food Academy does a fantastic job of making cooking fun, educational, and practical for kids. As a parent, it’s great to see your child come home excited to put into practice what she learned and eager to experiment with food. Thank you to Maria and the entire team for giving Barbara such a memorable experience. I would highly recommend the camp to other parents, and we will definitely be back! Five stars from both of us! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
