There are many ways to bond with your child, one of which is through cooking. Cooking or baking, some may think, is just a mere hobby that one does in their free time. Cooking, however, is a basic life skill that everyone should know how to do by the time they reach adolescence.

There are numerous cooking and baking classes, though, that are designed for kids, which are perfect for those who want their children to get started on this path as early as their formative years. This 2022, why not try something new with your child and enroll them in a cooking or baking class? These cooking and baking studios in Hong Kong offer tailored classes for kids. Some of them even allow parents to join in on the fun. Check them out!

The Mixing Bowl

The Mixing Bowl, founded by Victor Lo, offers baking classes to kids and adults in Hong Kong. Victor's passion for cooking was kindled when he lived in the United Kingdom for some time where he did not have anyone to cook for him. There, he learned to cook on his own and became interested in baking. Now, he's sharing his passion and love for baking to individuals interested to learn or want to hone their skills in the kitchen, kids included! Victor believes that "cooking is an essential life skill, it is also a great way for children to learn English, practice mathematics, and improve their motor skills."
