Arlington Community Education

Explore your sweet side and learn how to make your own candy. Create a variety of homemade sweets, including hard candy, jelly candy, and beautiful chocolates. Dazzle your friends and family with your new confectionary skills. You’ll have plenty of tasty treats to bring home to share, as well as a stash to satisfy your own sweet tooth.

Travel around the world through the foods and flavors of different nations. Practice new kitchen skills or sharpen the ones you have. Dishes may include both classic and trendy items from countries such as Spain, Mexico, India, Italy, China, and West Africa. We’ll make recipes such as Spanish croquettas, Mexican chilaquiles, and Indian paratha.

Let’s get cooking, tasting, and thinking about healthy ingredients. Working as a team, we’ll slice, dice, peel, measure, and cook until we’ve prepared a finished dish. We will celebrate seasonal produce and offer ideas for quick and healthy family meals. Take home the key ingredient or a sample of the finished dish, and the recipe each day to show off what you’ve learned. Even the most reluctant eaters enjoy KTK, where participation is expected, but tasting is always optional. Food allergies are taken into consideration, making sure that everyone is having fun and staying safe.
