The program began in Kathy Stewart’s kitchen, slicing and dicing with her three children. For kids, that’s rightly the fun of cooking—getting your hands onto the stuff, feeling the textures, experiencing the tastes and smells, and producing something they can be proud of. And, indeed, that’s precisely where the COOKSMART programs begin—with hands-on, collaborative, creative fun in the kitchen. Cooking, however, is a window onto other worlds, as it were, from the culture of food, to how and what we eat, including fellowship and healthy habits. Food has a central position in our lives, and while kids perhaps aren’t entirely aware of it at every moment during the sessions, Stewart’s experience as a nutritionist is reflected within them. It’s about having fun, gaining skills and independence, as well as providing an entrée into making more informed, healthier lifestyle choices. All sessions are expertly run in safe, professional cooking environments located across the GTA.
The 2020 Experience with COOKSMART
As we all find ourselves in unprecedented circumstances, our programming is different this year than usual. We are committed to offering fun and engaging programming, to keep you and your family safe.
Using the time we have at home is an excellent opportunity to get your kids cooking, either online to develop independence, alongside a parent to make dinner together, or get the whole family involved making a fun family meal.
Our in-person programs are unable to run at this time, which has opened up a world of virtual classes, camps and birthday parties. With each family working in the comfort of their own kitchen, we all can safely enjoy learning together, cooking and baking together, and of course - eating together, without being together in the same room.
Our virtual programs have been running since April with great success and fantastic results. We understand that many families have been challenged by COVID, and so we have been offering FREE classes on Saturdays called COOKING with KATHY. We also fundraise for these classes to raise money for the local community foodbanks, so that all families can have food to share together.
Please rest assured that should any virtual program be cancelled for any reason due to COVID-19, you will be offered a full refund for all programs affected.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. We're looking forward to cooking with your children.

Kathy Stewart, Founder of COOKSMART
COOKSMART started in the kitchen of Kathy Stewart, with her three small children learning how to cut veggies for their pizza toppings. The kids were excited to practice their new skills, especially when they could snack at the same time. As their confidence grew using a knife, they became curious for greater challenges and were soon cooking and baking inspired creations for the whole family. Seeing the independence that only a few simple cooking skills gave her own children, Kathy created a vision for COOKSMART.
Kathy's extensive experience as a teaching professional, coupled with her training as a nutritionist has given her the knowledge, skills, and passion to make COOKSMART a reality.
Our goal is to inspire better food choices and basic cooking for life-long healthy eating!
