Cook n Craft Academy is a hands-on cooking and crafting school for kids (and kids at heart) ages 4 to 99. Located at 418 Wharf Street in historic Loudon, TN — just 15 minutes west of Maryville — this is a unique spot where children learn real culinary skills and creative crafts in a fun, supportive environment.
The academy is led by Christina Deyo, an 8-time Emmy Award-winning producer who trained under culinary and crafting legends like Martha Stewart, Rosie O’Donnell, Emeril Lagasse, and Geoffrey Zakarian. Christina is well-known as “Crafty Christina” from The Rosie O’Donnell Show and hosted her own Food Network show “Lighten Up.” She’s also a mom of six, so she knows what keeps kids engaged.
What they offer: - Weekly kids cooking and baking classes (rotating themes) - Crafting sessions - Birthday parties (in-person and “parties to go” kits) - Private and group classes - A full bakery and gourmet-to-go shop
Classes change regularly, so check their upcoming classes page for the current schedule. They also offer gift certificates, which make great birthday or holiday presents.
Perfect for kids who love to create, taste, and make a mess (the fun kind).
