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. Before the kids attended the class I was able to speak to Allison directly about

my struggles with their lack of interest in trying new foods. She was incredibly understanding and optimistic and gave me several tips on what I can do at home. The biggest help was the “don’t yuk someone’s yum”. That is something we use on the daily now and my kids have been much more open and accepting of other food options and food from different cultures. Not only are they more open to trying food these days, they’re much more respectful of the food I make. They will always try it since I went through the trouble of making it!

We’re also venturing out to new restaurants and trying food from different cultures! Our most recent venture was Indian and they loved it! I will be forever grateful for the help and support from Allison and her LikPinkiesUp program.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!
