DSANV Cooking Club

The DSANV Cooking Club is focused on maximizing choice, ensuring hands-on engagement, using adaptations (as needed to ensure safety) and promoting families cooking together.

Offerings alternate by season.

Cooking Club Classes

Come join us in some Fall Fun! We’ll peel and slice apples, and using air fryers we’ll make apple fritters. We’ll also have apple cider and apple crafts. Click here to register

Come join us for a Friendsgiving Celebration. We’ll gather to prepare and enjoy a meal together. The meal will include turkey breast, which Stacy will cook at home. Wegmans has the best turkey breast! We’ll prepare stuffing, green bean casserole and no bake desserts. We plan to have a glutten free option for everything we make. Before we enjoy our meal we’ll spend time talking about things that we’re grateful in our lives. Click here to register.

Volunteers will be available to help out, so parents can sit and chat with friends. Click here to register.
