Culinary Workshops for Children and Teenagers

Cooking and Pastry with Imagination and Play.

At Ammilos we grow, creating…in the kitchen!

Here, cooking and pastry making become an experiential journey of knowledge, creativity and imagination for children from 3+ to teenagers. Through play, collaboration and personal expression, each child cultivates skills that will always accompany them.

Our programs cover every age group, offering activities that meet the needs, interests and capabilities of each child, always with respect for their developmental stage and with an emphasis on the joy of participation. And all this, in a supportive environment, where they can experiment, learn and express themselves freely. This is how we have created:

  1. Concurrent parental actions (3–5 years)
  2. Interactive workshops for children (6–10 years old)
  3. More complex culinary tests for teenagers (11–14 years old).
  4. We also provide educational programs to Schools of all levels.

We offer:

  • Weekly lesson classes.
  • Thematic one-time workshops throughout the year.
  • Organized tasting parties for children aged 7+.

Why is Cooking Good for Children?

Participating in cooking workshops has multiple benefits for the development of every child:

They learn through doing.

As they measure ingredients, follow recipes, and prepare dishes, they practice math, language, and critical thinking skills, while also coming into contact with basic scientific concepts.

They open their horizons

Exposure to flavors and ingredients from different cuisines and cultures cultivates the imagination, enhances curiosity and encourages personal expression.

They learn to cooperate.

Through group activities, patience, responsibility and respect for others are cultivated. Children learn to co-create and function as a team.

They build healthy eating habits

By cooking for themselves, they develop a positive relationship with food, become familiar with basic hygiene rules, and acquire practical skills that will accompany them throughout their lives.

The Place, the People and our Approach

For us, cooking is not just fun. It is a way to connect, express and learn with safety, laughter and inspiration.

A space made for children

Our kitchen is designed to accommodate little cooks, with great safety and comfort.

Trainers who inspire confidence

Our team consists of professionals with experience in teaching, who, with a positive attitude and care, guide children step by step.

Learning through play

Teaching is based on experiential learning: songs, games and creative activities accompany the cooking process, from preparation to presentation and cleanup.

We discover the world through food, by age group.

For Children 3 to 5 Years Old: Imagination, Play and Creation in the Kitchen

Τα εργαστήρια μας για παιδιά προσχολικής ηλικίας -τα οποία έρχονται πάντα μαζί με το γονέα τους- είναι designed with the need for free expression, play and discovery in mind. At this age, children do not "learn" in the traditional way, but through the senses, imitation and movement.

Skills: Sensory exploration, observation and emotional engagement.

Children always come with a parent and together:

  • They explore materials, textures, colors and smells with their senses.
  • They create easy and safe recipes without heat.
  • They learn basic concepts of hygiene and safety in the kitchen.
  • They become familiar with simple kitchen utensils appropriate for their age.
  • They express their imagination through role play and creativity.

For Adolescents 11–14 Years Old: Techniques, Expression & Taste Identity

In adolescence, cooking is no longer just a game. It is a way of expression, a field of experimentation and the search for personal identity. Teenagers come to the kitchen with more maturity, seeking meaningful experiences and skills that can accompany them in their later lives.

Workshops for teens ages 11–14 are more focused, challenging, and inspiring at the same time — aiming to enhance self-expression, skill, and critical thinking.

Skills: Collaboration, technical & critical thinking, creativity.

What our workshops offer:

  • Deepening knowledge of cooking & pastry techniques with professional standards, but always at a customized level.
  • Creative exploration of flavors, with an emphasis on traditional and modern cuisines.
  • Enhancing personal expression, through the composition of dishes with the aesthetics and culinary identity of each teenager.
  • Development of collaborative skills through teamwork, discussion and exchange of opinions.
  • Understanding food culture, both as a practical necessity and as a cultural expression.
