COOKING CLASSES
Julie is now 
collaborating with Jennifer Clair at Home Cooking New York! She is her lead instructor for the HCNY Kids Cooking Program. If you're looking for private classes, cooking parties, for either adults or children, contact Jennifer at jennifer@homecookingny.com.
IN-HOME COOKING CLASSES and PARTIES for KIDS & TEENS
Afterschool cooking classes for kids & teens (5 years old and up) is a terrific way to expose both picky eaters and adventurous eaters--and everything in between--to new dishes they can make themselves. Cooking allows kids to open up to a whole new world of food appreciation by letting them take part in the process from start to finish, creating confidence and pride in the meal they've created. To boot, every class ends with a full dinner your whole family can enjoy together (read: you don't have to cook!).
You can set up private lessons for just one child, a group of children, or parent-and-child classes. Visit Home Cooking New York for more information.
SCHOOL PROGRAMS for children and teens
Bring cooking to the classroom! Kids can learn how to cook anywhere - with or without a kitchen. Julie can develop a customized curriculum that matches the needs of your organization and also work within financial and space constraints.
Many schools no longer offer home economics and don't have the resources to teach nutrition beyond the basics. Learning how to cook is an ideal way for kids and teens to learn about nutrition and healthful eating - it's fun and hands-on. It will expand their palates and improve the variety of their diet since they are more likely to eat dishes they helped prepare.
COOKING DEMOS, NUTRITION SEMINARS and TRAINING SESSIONS
Julie can offer your company or organization a dynamic seminar on a wide range of nutrition topics or an interactive cooking demonstration that matches the needs of your organization.
She can also provide training sessions on "how to to teach cooking classes" for teachers, graduate students, and health care professionals.
Julie has taught for many organizations and companies including Jay Monahan Center for Gastrointestinal Health at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, Swedish Hospital, Evergreen Hospital, New York Police Department (NYPD), John Jay College of Criminal Justice, The Dean Ornish Program, Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA), Children's AID Society, Girls Inc, Program for Early Parent Support (PEPS), HealthCorps, and the Washington State Department of Health.
If they cook it, they'll eat it! After spending time in the kitchen with your kids, they will become such good chefs, you'll start asking them for recipe tips...

Testimonials
"Julie Negrin changed my life. I enrolled in her class for parents in 2005 and my culinary adventure began. I made my first batch of granola, oven-baked fries, chicken nuggets, pita chips, and banana ice cream - and learned so much from Julie about nutrition. When my daughter took her "Little Chefs" class, I couldn't wait to pick her up because I knew whatever she made would be our dinner that night. Now I host dinner parties regularly, bake my own challah, and try new recipes. Thank you Julie, for helping me discover my passion for cooking."
-Anne Grossman, parent
