Cooking Thyme

Specialties

Established in May of 2011, Cooking Thyme offers a safe environment of culinary inspiration through children’s summer camps and after-​school programs that encourage creativity, responsibility, and good olé fashioned fun!

Cooking Thyme also teaches our Little Chefs how healthy eating choices do not have to mean yucky eating choices. No matter how picky your Little Chef may be, experience has taught us that kids will eat what they make. Soon your child will be coming home exclaiming, «It’s not just green. It’s Guacamole!»

Meet the Business Owner

Rachel M.

Business Owner

Chef Rachel Moore, the heart and mind behind Cooking Thyme, is a Louisiana girl, born and raised just north of New Orleans… and we all know what that means! Great food! She comes from a family of great cooks, including an Italian mother and Italian aunts. Learning from their culinary skills is how she developed an enjoyment and love for cooking.

She has been teaching children how to cook for seven years now (five of those year before coming to DC). After gaining such a great response from teaching a pilot summer program in 2010, she and her husband decided to make their passion into a bigger reality. So, in 2011, they officially launched «Cooking Thyme!», with a «Little Chefs» program for 3 to 9 year olds and a «C.I.T. (Chefs in Training)!» program for 9 to 12 year olds.
