Sticky Fingers Cooking states the mission “Thyme to Turnip the Beet on What Kids Eat!®” and offers award-winning programming. Sessions teach internationally inspired recipes, kitchen skills, nutrition, and the use of fresh ingredients. The program is now serving grades pre-K–12 and reports that over one million students nationwide have participated. Classes are mobile and do not require a kitchen; the program states that all it needs is a room with an outlet and proximity to a sink and that it provides everything else.

Instructors are ServSafe-certified and FBI background-checked, and the program states it is 100% school safety compliant with background checks, fingerprinting, and insurance. Sticky Fingers Cooking notes that it accommodates all food allergies and includes safe substitutions for top food allergens. The program provides virtual interactive online summer camps, interactive livestream online cooking classes, small in-person groups for school camps in multiple regions, and private at-home summer camps for up to four kids with clean-up included. It also offers easy class registration with free online enrollment, payment, collection, and class roster organization, plus materials to help market classes to the community.

Sticky Fingers Cooking states that there is no cost to schools, with tuition paid by parents or guardians, and that discounts are available to parents who volunteer in class (limit two kids per family). Families receive an online recipe collection after each class. The program reports that 99% of schools invite it back year after year. It also invites community partners to bring Sticky Fingers Cooking to libraries, camps, churches, or troops so kids can learn how to make and enjoy tasty, healthy, fun food.

Parent and student comments include kids saying, “My parents are not going to believe I made this! It's so good! I LOVE COOKING!!” and “I literally can't wait for the next class. This is the most fun E.V.E.R.!” Parents describe kids being proud of their cooking and note experiences such as “The meal last night was delicious and our son cooked it all! Sign us up for more classes!” and appreciation for cooking gluten-free for kids. Instructors describe kids trying foods like tofu piccata, watermelon poke, kale ravioli, and even raw kale, and one instructor shares a story of a student who said he did not eat vegetables but later said the vegetables in his artichoke ravioli “were pretty great.”
