Leah Brooks is the founder of Young Urban Modern Chefs (Y.U.M. Chefs), a San Francisco cooking school for kids. Y.U.M. Chefs holds classes, summer camps,  and birthday parties for hundreds of children a year in its kitchen/classroom in  the Mission District. Their focus is on changing the way kids see food, making it  approachable, healthy, and fun. They also emphasize seasonality, and have a well-used classroom garden to teach growing and harvesting fresh vegetables. They’re a staple at the Noe Valley Farmers Market, where they do community outreach and hold a monthly class. They are a project of Open Mind, a nonprofit dedicated to the development and education of children.

Leah’s new book is Baking with Kids, This is just the book you need to help teach children to bake. Show your children how to safely use basic equipment in the kitchen and explain all the important ingredients they’ll need to make the most delicious baked goods.
