Cooking with Youths and Teens
By Judy Koutsky
Holland America Line has launched a kids and teen Culinary Arts Center activity program to bring the joys of cooking to the younger set. Taking advantage of the fleet-wide million dollar show kitchens, the cruise line now offers classes that teach kids and teens how to make dishes that appeal to their taste buds.
The program incorporates dishes from breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in complimentary classes lasting 45 minutes each. All kids, tweens and teens are welcome to attend whether or not they are registered for the Club HAL and teens program.
The preparations range from simple to teen sophisticate. Kids under eight years old will learn to make Bear Tracks (Alaska theme cookies), Fruit Leather (fruit roll-ups), Ice Cream Sandwiches, Salad People Art, and Denali Peaks (Alaska Theme Scones). Kids eight and over will delight in making Soft Pretzels, Granola Bars, Pita Chips and Hummus, and Saltwater Taffy.
Class topics and times will be communicated through daily programs and Club HAL programs during a cruise. Teens are welcome to attend adult culinary demonstrations, too.
Holland America Line attracts more than 25,000 kids and their families aboard its 13 ships every year. They offer a host of activities for kids of all ages.
