How young is to young to enroll in cooking classes

if she is responsible.i think she could handle it
i mean any 6yr old that can watch the food network
and is fascinated with it.i think they can handle it
i'm not sure about ur area..but check with local colleges
i'm in louisiana & our local college has ''laginappe'' classes..
that has cooking for all ages (and other classes)
but of course, u have to stay with ur child while she is there
.for safety reasons & to help out.
but they will let her cook..show her techniques

http://youngchefsacademy.com/pages/home.html takes kids 4-14. It looks like they do have a location in Illinois and also in Indiana. Not sure exactly how close they are to you.

I can not imagine a class that would take a child that young.

I would not want to send my child that young to a class.

Her ''cooking'' lessons should be with her parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends of the family, people who with keep her safe. Stoves, ovens, knives, appliances are not made for children to safely use.

You might check with your local parks department or YMCA. Sometimes they offer cooking classes for children. Also, Betty Crocker recently reprinted a cookbook for children that came out in the 1960's. I have an original copy from my childhood and it has some great, easy recipies that you can do together.
