Green Apron Kitchen | Brooklyn, NY

This is a great neighborhood place for kids. My daughter loves cooking and has previously attended camps, drop in classes, virtual classes, play dates, and birthdays. We miss the amazing staff but definitely will be returning soon. ETA: during the longer classes and full day experiences, the kids have breaks and activities (dancing, games, etc). My daughter has always loved this part of the experience as well!

Buyer beware! This woman does not know how to run a business or handle customer service. I signed my child up for one day cooking camp with the expectation of hands on experience. My son has extensive experience cooking through school programs but lo and behold he came home disappointed saying the majority of the day was spent playing games. 22 kids present and aside from some minor assistance there was no actual cooking taking place. When I spoke to the owner over the phone she was incredibly defensive, did not want to hear me out, and tried to deny what my son said. She then tripped herself up when she claimed the teachers are not allowed to touch the food kids eat but my son had a grilled chicken sandwich so I expect then he must have learned some pretty gnarly knifing skills. Once I pointed that out she became even more defensive. All the negative reviews are true. Stay away and save your money.

Sent 6 kids to Green Apron’s lunar year cooking camp. Menu sounded promising. Kids appreciated learning how to put food together, but upon hearing their feedback, there was not much “cooking” to be done. They cracked eggs but never got to cook it. Fortune cookie tasted good but dumplings had eggs and cheese in it- that is odd for Asian cooking. Sounds more like an empanada to me. Lo mein part of menu was good. Unfortunately all my children said the lead teacher did not have the best attitude and was rather rude at times. There were some smaller kids in the class that created some mess and the older kids (my kids) were seemingly faulted with clean up. Per my children the comments made towards them were sarcastic and impolite. I would imagine the teacher would exercise more patience with students, as this is a school, right? But guess not. Facilities were ok, not very modern. I admit I was not there to witness but I have full trust in my children to tell me what happened. Sorry but we will not be returning. 2 stars for the food part of camp only.

Kids do not lie. This horrible instructor ruined Chinese NY for 6 kids that attended today’s cooking class. From my 9 year old niece today “Cooking class was the worst. The teacher was giving so much attitude.” Your response is absolutely evasive to blame. You made our kids clean up for the mess made by other kids. It is good value to teach clean up but you need to teach the one that made the mess. As an instructor without patience and kindness. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. I will make sure I inform everyone I know to not patronize your facility.

The classes are great fun! My 10-year old daughter has made some things that she prepared by herself but we have also enjoyed taking classes together as a family (making braided cheese and ham bread and dumplings). The instructor is very friendly and easy-going, and gives really good tips for all ages and levels. A great way to break the routine and try out new recipes. We can't wait to take more classes.
