From One Kitchen to the Next: Celebrating a Flavorful Summer Across All Our Campuses!

As we close the cookbook on another incredible summer, we’re filled with gratitude, pride, and excitement for all that unfolded across every Create-a-Cook kitchen in 2025. From our bustling full-day campuses to our warm and welcoming half-day sites, this season was a beautiful reminder of why we love what we do: sharing the joy of cooking with the next generation of young chefs.

This summer, Create-a-Cook called five campuses our culinary home:

🍴 Central Montco Technical High School in Plymouth Meeting

🍴 Haverford College in Haverford

🍴 Sacred Heart Academy in Bryn Mawr

🍴 Limerick Township Municipal Building

🍴 Conshohocken at the Mary Wood Park House

At our full-day programs at Central Montco and Haverford, campers had the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the culinary arts—spending long days in the kitchen, crafting both savory meals and stunning desserts. Meanwhile, our half-day locations in Conshohocken, Sacred Heart Academy, and Limerick offered meaningful, skill-building experiences in a shorter format—perfect for young chefs just beginning their culinary adventures.

We proudly offered a delicious variety of themed classes this year that allowed each junior chef to explore new skills, ingredients, and cuisines:

Full-Day Classes:

🍅 Summer Sensation

🏈 Game Day Grub Club

🍝 North of Tuscany

🌮 Tacos to Tapas

🍳 Eggs-traordinary Brunch

🍅 Sauce or Gravy? Southern Italian Cuisine

🌻 Late Summer Harvest

Half-Day Classes:

🌍 Taste Buds Adventure!

🧭 Culinary Exploration

👨‍🍳 Junior Chef Academy: Ultimate Culinary Challenge

None of this summer’s magic would have been possible without our incredible team of chefs, who inspired, guided, and uplifted our campers with patience, humor, and expert skill. A heartfelt thank you to:

👨‍🍳 Chef Jarrett

👩‍🍳 Chef Megan

👩‍🍳 Chef Lindsay

👩‍🍳 Chef Carisa

👨‍🍳 Chef Seth

👨‍🍳 Chef Kevin

And behind the scenes and by their sides, we’re so thankful for the hard work and support of our instructional assistants—Spring, I'jhier, and our prep rockstar, Brian—who helped ensure every kitchen ran smoothly and joyfully.

Over the course of the summer, we were honored to cook, bake, laugh, learn, and create with nearly 300 junior chefs across all five locations. Whether it was their first time cracking an egg or their fifth class with Create-a-Cook, we watched every camper grow in skill and confidence, discovering the joy of making something with their own two hands—and sharing it with others.

This summer has filled our hearts (and stomachs!) with joy, and we’re already dreaming up what’s next. From new classes to familiar favorites, we can’t wait to welcome you back in 2026 for more culinary creativity, community, and of course… delicious food.

Thank you for cooking with us. Until next summer, keep creating, keep tasting, and keep having fun in the kitchen!

With gratitude,The Create-a-Cook Team 🧡💙
