All Children’s Hospital hosting free cooking classes for kids to encourage healthy eating

All Children's Hospital promotes healthy eating for kids

AllKids in the Kitchen is a free cooking class for families. People who register have access to six weeks of live, virtual cooking classes held once a week. It encourages kids to try new foods as they help prepare recipes as well as learn healthy eating habits. Families can also receive free produce prior to class. The class is offered at no cost by Johns Hopkins All Children?s Hospital.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital hopes kids and families embrace healthy eating habits and new recipes and they’re using a free weekly cooking class to help.

The 'AllKids in the Kitchen' classes are designed for kids ages 7 and up. People who register have access to six weeks of live, virtual classes every Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. 

Chef Anita Jimenez said it's a natural fit for families who have become used to virtual learning.

"Most of the time, when kids are involved in the cooking process, they're more likely to be willing to try new foods," she pointed out.

There are also produce vouchers available with each class through a partnership with Healthy St. Pete.
