About
The Merry Kitchen offers cooking classes, themed cooking camps, and birthday parties where kids cook dishes such as cupcakes, lasagna, garlic bread, roasted broccoli, and pot stickers. Specific kids’ classes include an Almost Spring Celebration cooking class, an Asian Appetizers cooking class, a Roll your own Sushi cooking class, a Chopped Camp, and a two day camp. The program also offers adult cooking classes and can host a sushi class at home.
• Ages: 6–18 years old
• Schedule: Selected classes such as Almost Spring Celebration (ages 6–10), Asian Appetizers (ages 8–13), and Roll your own Sushi (ages 6–10) are scheduled on Thursday, March 6, 2025, from 3–5pm, and these classes are 2 hours long; birthday parties are structured so kids can bake, decorate, and enjoy cupcakes within 2 hours.
• Price: Certificates for kids’ classes are $50, and families can purchase multiple $50 certificates.
The Merry Kitchen is the brainchild of Julie Merry, who earned a bachelor’s degree in Nutrition at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia and became a Registered Dietitian. Classes held onsite are described as intimate, with a maximum of 8–10 participants depending on the theme and age group, and onsite adult classes are limited to 8 or fewer adults. The Merry Kitchen can also travel to a family’s home or another venue for an additional cost, with a minimum of five participants at the chosen location and a recommendation to have no more than 12 kids cooking at once. Birthday parties at The Merry Kitchen have a minimum of four participants, and one parent described them as a blast.
For kids’ events, Julie prepares items such as aprons, hair ties, and recipe copies to take home, and she has brought all needed equipment for a sushi class hosted at a family’s home. In the Roll your own Sushi class, participants learn the basics of rolling sushi and making tempura shrimp, and everyone rolls their own creations using ingredients that include Dungeness crab. Popular menus for adult classes include Roll your own Sushi, Indian Cuisine, Homemade Pasta, Chinese Cuisine, Thai Cuisine, and Italian Cuisine, and menus can be created together based on interests and special dietary needs.
Parents report that Julie accommodates kids’ menu wishes, guides small groups to cook full meals like lasagna with sides, and provides hands-on instruction in kitchen skills. Families describe experiences such as a two day camp, Chopped Camp, and themed classes like pot stickers for Chinese New Year, and some note that their children look forward to returning for more classes. One parent shared that their 13-year-old especially liked the no-recipes, secret-ingredient element of a camp, and others mention that kids enjoyed making food together and then eating what they made. The Merry Kitchen has an “EXCELLENT” rating based on 27 reviews posted on Google. Gift certificates for kids’ classes are available and are mailed out the day payment is received.
