One Million Kids Have Learned to Cook with Sticky Fingers Cooking

We have eggs-citing news to share! Sticky Fingers Cooking has taught over one million kids how to cook from coast to coast!

This milestone was made thanks to every family that trusted us and our team to teach our original, allergen-friendly, globally-inspired recipes in after-school classes and summer camps. 

“When I started this business, I had a dream of someday teaching one million kids to cook–somehow!” says Erin Fletter, CEO, founder, and Food-Geek-in-Chief of Sticky Fingers Cooking. “Now I have to pinch myself to believe it’s actually happened–and we are teaching more kids each week!”

Learning to Cook with Sticky Fingers Cooking®

At Sticky Fingers Cooking®, we understand kids who are selective eaters or who have food allergies, so we encourage them to find what they do like when our chef instructors introduce the Recipe of the Week. 

The results can be heartwarming, hilarious, and sometimes lead to new food favorites. Read what the student chefs have to say about their experiences: 

“Today was SO fun!! I made some fruit skewers just for fun! My teacher (Chef Penny) showed us what to do, like how to cut it.” ~ Hannah, 10

"I love this rice, but I didn't think I would because it is not my favorite. Now this IS my favorite!!! We MUST make this at home!" ~ Josh, 5

"I don't like tomatoes and I STILL love this!" ~ Owen, 10

“We made the best pies! We did the cutting and mixing and slamming the dough together and Chef Dylan put them in the mini oven and wham bam they were delicious!” ~ Charlie, 5

When you add up each of these individuals across the years, states, and schools, you get 1 MILLION kids who have learned about cooking, how to try new things, that they can safely challenge themselves, and the joy in gaining a new life skill.
