As the cooking craze continues, fancy your kid as a designer chef?

Les Petits Chefs at Victor Churchill . .

It's been tagged the Balenciaga of the butcheries; the Chanel of charcuteries; the Missoni of meat . . .

So now, the most stylish and award-winning butcher shops is hosting cooking classes . . . for adults and for culinary-minded kids.

And the timing couldn't be better. With Junior Masterchef in production; the runway success of Masterchef still on many minds and the appearance of other kitchen shows like My Kitchen Rules and the upcoming Iron Chef, the Woollahra-based Victor Churchill butchery is catering for the cute crew.

The school is the first of its kind in Australia and classes have already booked out in the short term (with ‘students’ flying in from across the country to attend).

Tourism Australia now makes monthly visits to the undeniably state-of-the-art store with international visitors, and recommends it as an Australian ‘destination’.

At the school, kids have the opportunity to learn basic cooking skills with Victor Churchill French chef in residence Romeo Baudouin, with classes held in Victor Churchill’s special private dining room on Sunday mornings.

"These small classes with a maximum of 6 students are held in our special private dining room on Sunday mornings where kids are taught basic food preparation skills as they create both dinner and a dessert,'' goes the media speil.

"The meals are cooked in our kitchens for your children to bring home for dinner with easy reheat instructions provided.
Ages: 8-11 year olds
Time: 10:00am -12:00pm
Cost: $150 per child (15% discount for siblings or book the whole class and receive a 20% discount)
When: Sundays."

I reckon it is an inspired idea and my son even wants to do it!
