Way Cool Cooking School has run cooking events for kids and adults in the Twin Cities since 2004. It has kitchens in St. Paul and Eden Prairie and works as both a school and an event venue. Public classes are split by age. Adult classes are for 16 and up, kids classes are for ages 7 to 15, and parent-and-child family classes cover ages 3 to 6 or 7 to 15.
Private events make up much of the business. Corporate groups book the Chopped Competition, Food Truck Wars or Cupcake Wars. Adult parties can choose a chef-led dinner menu, such as Italian, Mexican, French or tapas. Kids birthday parties come with a themed cake, decorations and paper goods.
In summer, the school runs four-day camps for ages 7 to 15, with three-hour morning and afternoon sessions. The Eden Prairie lineup includes Food Show Favorites, Is It Cake and Pasta Palooza. The school has a 5-star Google rating from 12 reviews. Reviewers often mention chefs by name, including Chef Mary, who taught a sushi class.
