Our family is grateful for the tools we have learned through Chef Allison! As a mom, what I love the most is hearing both of my two sons age 6 and 8 say

"I do not prefer this" vs. ewww, yuck or this is disgusting when we try new things! This phrase comes second nature now to my two boys, Jackson and Grant. When we are with other families, I have received compliments with their "politeness" with food. We also enjoy as a family describing what new foods taste like at the dinner table. The many tools we continue to learn as a family together, I am certain will inspire my two boys to pass down to their families one day.

Allison hosted a cooking party for my daughter's birthday and it was the best, most stress-free decision I could have made. Allison is so patient and funny with the children.

Our 3 daughters had the opportunity to try Lil' Pinkies Up cooking class & had such an incredible experience! Allison is so friendly and knowledgeable and she's able to teach them about food in such a fun way.

I had my 8-year-old daughter and 6 year old son attend a class in hopes of helping them broaden their very small food world.

My girls LOVED their class this fall! The politeness policy is still in effect in our household and I do hear the words, “I don’t prefer it” quite often...and that’s ok!

Mona Dow

My daughter had an amazing time cooking. This class taught her to try something unique while at the same time feeling proud of making it herself.

My kids have enjoyed their time cooking with Ms. Allison....so much they are now enjoying cooking at home!

April Aleman

I have 4 children each with individual likes and dislikes. I am the parent who has always refused to cook a separate meal for kids at breakfast, lunch or dinner. So, I like to think my parenting technique would have created kids with good, adventurous eating habits.

Allison's cooking classes have done wonders in our home. Empowering my children to be more helpful and interested in the kitchen. Also more open minded to what we are having for a meal.

Lindsey Fiori

Allison is such a natural teacher with patience of a saint! She had my 3 and 5 year old in one of her classes recently and was so great with them. She taught them to appreciate and understand food even more than they already did!
