We loved the Passport to Plate Summer Culinary Workshop at Chefs In Progress! My child had so much fun exploring foods from different countries, learning new cooking skills, and trying recipes they had never made before. Every day they came home excited to share what they learned and what they created. Thank you, Chefs In Progress, for such a fun and educational summer experience. We can't wait to see you in the fall!

We love Chefs In Progress! Our kids have busy schedules, so we love that there are classes available both in the evenings and on weekends. We typically attend the Friday night or Saturday afternoon classes, and the flexibility makes it easy for our family to fit cooking classes into our schedule. The classes are always fun, hands-on, and something our kids look forward to. They enjoy trying new foods, learning new skills, and getting to create dishes from scratch. The instructors are wonderful, and every class feels welcoming and well organized. We highly recommend Chefs In Progress to any family looking for a fun and unique activity for their children.

My son loves this place! He's a second-year Young Chef Club student and has gained so much confidence in the kitchen. He enjoys cooking so much that he now makes dinner for our family 2–3 nights a week. It's been amazing to watch his skills, independence, and love of cooking grow. We highly recommend Chefs In Progress!

We do the drop-in cooking classes for my granddaughter, and she absolutely loves them! Her favorite part is learning about all the different countries and foods from around the world. Every class is a new adventure, and she always comes home excited to tell us what she made and what she learned. She has also made new friends and enjoys the social aspect just as much as the cooking. It's such a fun, welcoming environment, and we love seeing her confidence grow with each class. Chefs In Progress is a wonderful program, and we highly recommend it!

We love Chefs In Progress! Honestly, you have to try it to really understand what makes it so special. My kids are learning how to make healthy meals, trying new foods, building confidence, and making great friends along the way. As a parent, I love knowing they're learning real-life skills that they'll use for years to come. And let's be honest the extra 3 hours of free time doesn't hurt either! Whether I need to run errands, catch up on work, or just enjoy a little "me time," it's a win-win for everyone.

Hi everyone! My name is Victoria, and I just wanted to share our experience with Chefs In Progress. Our family loves to travel, explore new places, and experience different cultures, so finding a program that brings a little bit of that adventure home has been amazing. My girls started in the Exploring Countries classes, and every week they would come home excited to tell me where they "traveled" that day and what they cooked. I was honestly a little nervous at first because it was a drop-off program. Like any parent, I wondered how they would do. But after seeing the environment and meeting the staff, those worries disappeared pretty quickly. Before long, the girls were running through the door excited for class and couldn't wait to show me what they had made when I picked them up. One thing I really love is that they aren't just following recipes. They're learning about different countries, flavors, and foods from around the world. As a family that enjoys traveling, it's been so much fun watching them recognize dishes from places we've visited and even ask to try new things when we're on trips. They have become much more adventurous eaters and are always looking for their next culinary adventure.

As a single dad of two boys, I can't say enough good things about Chefs In Progress. My sons are enrolled in the Young Chef Program, and I love that they're learning real-life skills that will help them become confident and independent in the kitchen as they get older. So far, we've explored Italy, China, Japan, and France through food, and the boys look forward to class every week. Parents, this is truly a hidden gem. The staff is amazing, the program is educational and fun, and my kids are gaining skills they'll use for a lifetime. Highly recommend!

Our family has been attending Chefs In Progress since 2023 when they first opened, and we can honestly say there is nothing else like it in Southwest Florida. What makes Chefs In Progress so special is that it is so much more than a cooking class. Through their monthly country-themed culinary classes, our children get to explore different countries, cultures, traditions, and foods without ever leaving our hometown. Each month they learn to create authentic appetizers, soups, breads, main dishes, and desserts from a featured country. By the end of the month, they can recreate an entire four-course meal and tell you all about the country, its culture, and its traditions. It is an incredible educational experience disguised as fun. We also love the variety of specialty classes offered throughout the year. Some of our family's favorites have been Hometown Diner, Boba, and the Macaron classes. The themes are always creative, engaging, and give our kids opportunities to learn skills they would never experience elsewhere. We typically attend the Monday drop-in classes, and every class is hands-on, educational, and well organized. Our children have become more adventurous eaters, more confident in the kitchen, and excited to learn about the world through food. We have tried other cooking programs in the area that cost $100 per day, and nothing compares to the quality, creativity, and educational value that Chefs In Progress provides for between $45 and $55. The combination of culinary education, cultural exploration, and life skills is something that simply cannot be duplicated. Thank you, Chef Cameron, and the entire Chefs In Progress team, for creating such a unique and meaningful experience for families. We look forward to continuing our culinary journey for years to come. — The Powell Family

Our family absolutely loves the Young Chef Club 8-Month Program! This program has been one of the best investments we've made for our children. Not only have they learned how to cook, but they have also gained valuable life skills that they use every day. They now help with meal planning, meal preparation, cooking family meals, and cleaning up afterward. Their confidence in the kitchen has grown tremendously. One of the things we appreciate most is the strong focus on kitchen safety and sanitation. The program teaches real-world skills that will benefit our children for years to come. Beyond cooking, our kids have made wonderful friendships throughout the program. They look forward to class each week and truly enjoy being part of the Young Chef Club community. The staff is incredible with the children—patient, encouraging, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping each student succeed. We have had an amazing experience and plan to continue returning year after year. Chef's In Progress you Rock! -Schay
