MEET SPROUTS COOKING SCHOOL
At Sprouts Cooking School, we’re passionate about building a strong foundation for a lifelong love of cooking, nurturing adventurous palates and encouraging families to cook together.
Our near Indianapolis cooking schools with locations in Carmel and Zionsville, are host to single session weekend classes, family classes, weeknight classes, seasonal cooking camps and cooking themed birthday parties.
Our hands-on cooking classes for children provide guided instruction in a group setting where kid chefs and bakers will learn culinary fundamentals and skills.
Our engaging class themes ignite children’s imaginations and get them excited to explore new flavors and skills and expand their palates with delicious recipes. Your Sprouting Chef will be proud to show off their new culinary skills and recipes for the family at home!
ALLERGY STATEMENT
Sprouts Cooking School understands that there are a growing number of food allergies in young children.
Sprouts is a peanut and tree nut free facility. Additionally, we rarely use shellfish and fish ingredients.
Most classes contain dairy, gluten, egg, soy, artificial dyes, and meat ingredients.
Please note that we are not an allergen-free facility and use shared cooking equipment and utensils.
Due to the extensive use of dairy ingredients throughout our recipes and the limitations of available substitutes given that we are a nut-free facility, we are unable to accommodate true dairy allergies. We may be able to make limited modifications for children with dairy sensitivities on a case-by-case basis, but accommodations cannot be guaranteed and must be discussed with our team prior to booking.
If you request specialized accommodations for gluten, dairy, egg, or soy allergies or sensitivities, artificial dye restrictions, or a vegetarian diet, a $15 single-session class or $45 camp dietary accommodation fee will be added. We are unable to make dietary adjustments to our semester classes. Please contact our team before registering to confirm that we are able to accommodate your child’s dietary needs.
If your child has a severe food allergy, please email us at [email protected] prior to booking to ensure we are able to safely accommodate your child’s dietary needs.
Meet Sprouts Cooking School’s Founder & Owner, Stephanie Drewry
A lifelong Hoosier, Stephanie Drewry, is proud to have two Sprouts Cooking School locations nestled in the same Central Indiana area she grew up.
Originally launched in Drewry’s home, Sprouts Cooking School grew by leaps and bounds during its initial years and moved to a Carmel, Indiana storefront location in summer of 2017 featuring a unique kid-sized kitchen design.
As demand grew, Stephanie opened a second location in Zionsville, IN in October of 2022 with the same look and feel as her Carmel location.
Drewry is passionate about bringing kids and families together in the kitchen. She loves teaching new takes on favorite recipes, introducing fresh herbs and expanding palates. She beams with pride when teachers have a breakthrough moment with picky eaters and when her recipes resonate with her Sprouting Chefs.
During her days off from the helm of Sprouts Cooking School, she enjoys watching her three children play travel soccer, exploring the Indy food scene, chatting with local chefs, entertaining family and friends, creating new recipes and traveling with her husband.
As Sprouts Cooking School continues to grow, her goal is for every child to build a foundation for a lifelong love of cooking, to inspire and empower this generation of foodies, and to encourage families to get into the kitchen and cook with their kids.
Cooking is a life skill that everyone needs to know. No matter what your age is, everyone needs to nourish their bodies and feed themselves. I’m passionate about bringing kids and families together in the kitchen.
