Chef It Up, Nutley

Favorite family recipes inspire the curriculum at Chef It Up, where kids learn culinary techniques from patient instructors. As they whip up pizza, cupcakes, mac and cheese, and quesadillas, kids may not realize that they’re learning vocabulary, kitchen etiquette, skills, and hand-eye coordination. Tirone knows that adults may enjoy a lesson or two as well, so Chef It Up also hosts nights-in classes for grownups that cover cake decorating and mozzarella making, among other topics. All dishes are made using peanut- and tree-nut-free ingredients.
