Tiny Chefs Is…

Anna’s (owner) vision of Tiny Chefs had been created by combining her experience teaching young children with her passion for cooking and baking. Tiny Chef’s cooking classes and birthday parties support a proven philosophy that children deserve the opportunity to explore food, nutrition, and cooking at their individual pace of learning. Anna grew up as a child baking with her mother and trying out new recipes for friends and family. Anna continues to grow her skills through various cooking and baking classes, and cooks with her three daughters
