A very good friend of mine has the stamina to teach cooking to children, I don’t know how she does it! During the different school breaks, you will find her – and a bunch of under 10 year olds – making everything from “Grilled Beef Rolls with Scallion Soy Dipping Sauce” to PIZZA!

It was her Pizza day that inspired this, our Mangia Printable Party collection. Each child received a personalized place mat (that we laminated) to use as a work surface, and a cup with a personalized sleeve (so they could keep the same cup throughout the class). In addition they all got to take home a class cookbook filled with that week’s recipes.

And YUM! The insane mess was all worth it! Good pizza, great friends, and a valuable cooking experience that could inspire a lifetime love of cooking.
