About this Event

Grab the kiddos and cook together in this fun, hands-on family class at The Mix at Columbus State.

Chef-instructor Shawnie Kelley will guide adults and kids step by step through classic comfort food made from scratch. You’ll work together to prepare mozzarella-stuffed meatballs simmered in homemade marinara, along with parmesan breadsticks perfect for dipping. For dessert, the class will finish with an ooey-gooey cast iron skillet chocolate chip cookie-brownie that’s made to share.

After cooking, you’ll sit down and enjoy the meal you created together, along with an included beverage.

This class is designed to build kitchen confidence, teamwork, and skills while keeping things relaxed and fun. Be prepared to laugh, cook, and encourage your budding chef.
