This program was a wonderful experience for my granddaughter and myself.
The trip leader was terrific in every way. The kids really enjoyed the cooking demonstrations and great chefs who accomodated each child and their learning style as they independently cooked on their own. Field trips were just right.

Great trip with grandchildren. They learned skills and then applied them in the cooking of meals for the grandparents.

This was a fun week with my granddaughter. It was a real joy to see her quickly make friends, and taste the amazing foods all of them made. The chefs that worked with them were knowledgeable, friendly and easily engaged the children in the foods they prepared.

What a wonderful program this is for both grandkids & grandparents. Lots of hands on cooking activities in well appointed kitchens. The professional chefs were excellent with the children, both teaching and encouraging. The creativity of the kids was impressive and they were fearless as they mastered new kitchen skills.
Beautiful location and comfortable accommodations.

The website is fine. Questions were thoroughly answered by those manning the phones.

Culinary Curiosities is a great program whether or not your grandchild is interested in the culinary field. It creates awareness into where our food comes from other than from the grocery store!

If your grandchild has even a tiny bit of interest in cooking, this is the program for you! My granddaughter and I have cooked together since she was a little girl, but this program has taken us to a whole new level. She even said that after this program, she might have to rethink her future career--should she become a teacher as she had planned or a full time chef? It was fabulous in every way. The Chefs taught us so much and we loved the Essex and also seeing a bit of beautiful Vermont. Thank you, Road Scholar-you have "wowed me" once again!

This program provided an excellent opportunity for both me and my grandchild to learn new culinary skills, explore an idyllic section of the U. S., and meet several vital, thoughtful people, young and old. The instructors were highly skilled, empathetic, and eager to pass along their expertise. In all, this was a highlight of the summer.
