FAQs
Absolutely! Children at our cooking camp get to enjoy the delicious dishes they create for lunch. It’s important to prioritize food safety, so any hot or cold items are meant to be enjoyed on-site. However, kids are welcome to bring home their baked goods and treats that don’t require specific temperature control. This way, they can proudly share their culinary creations with family and friends!
While we take care to exclude nuts from our children’s classes, it's important to note that The Loft Cooking School is not completely allergy or nut-free. If your child has any food allergies, sensitivities or dietary restrictions, we ask that you get in touch with our Loft Coordinator before the class. We're committed to making every effort to accommodate your child’s needs, but we want to be transparent that we can't guarantee absolute avoidance of allergen contact. Your child’s well-being is our priority, and we appreciate your proactive communication to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience at Longo’s cooking camp.
