Young Chefs Academy Coming to New City

NEW CITY, N.Y. – Young Chefs Academy is ready to brighten the days of all aspiring young cooking masterminds in the New City area.

Slated to open Fall 2016, Young Chefs Academy will be offering the children of Rockland County the opportunity to explore and sharpen their inner epicure. Franchisees Sebastian and Tina Latina, who are entrepreneurially spirited and passionate about cooking, will be opening their Young Chefs Academy at 59 S. Main St., New City, NY 10956.

“My wife and I always had an interest owning our own business and when we came across Young Chefs Academy, it was exactly what we were looking for,” said Sebastian. “I love business, my wife loves cooking, we both love kids. Also, more than anything else, we wanted to make a difference in our community.”

Young Chefs Academy is the country’s leading kids cooking school, which has captivated the creativity of children across U.S. communities for more than a decade. Local New City-area parents will now be able to obtain top-notch culinary instruction for their children.

“Designs to expand into the attractive area of New City have been in the works for some time,” said President Roger Schmidt. “The family-oriented culture makes this a great fit for Young Chefs Academy and we are exceptionally delighted to have Sebastian and Tina lead the way into this market.”

Given Sebastian’s background as a pharmacist and Tina’s love for cooking, they are looking forward to teaching children the importance of making the right choices when it comes to food selections and portion control at their Young Chefs Academy business. As parents of three children, Sebastian and Tina have already experienced teaching their own children about kitchen safety, nutrition and food preparation.

Children enrolled in Young Chefs Academy will have the opportunity to participate in educational classes in a state-of-the-art kitchen. The curriculum at Young Chefs Academy is updated regularly with fresh monthly themes and exciting new programs with a strong focus on building culinary skills. Events and classes are fueled by the mantra, “mise en place,” which translates to “everything in its place.”

Tailored for young children discovering the kitchen in a KinderCooks® class, children in the Junior Chefs program and older students mastering concepts in the Senior Chefs group, there is a place and a lesson for every student to explore and grow through cooking. Each location also hosts birthdays and events for groups just looking for a taste of the Young Chefs experience.

Young Chefs Academy students can also benefit from opportunities connected to influential media partners, such as Food Network Magazine. Young Chefs Academy has hosted nationally recognized programs in conjunction with these and other partners, reaching both kids and adults across the nation with cooking tips and events to bring families together in the kitchen.
