As I said I've had some bad experiences because of this but if it's something understandable Jeannine will make it right if you reach out to her through the email on their website.

This review, while unbiased since I have no young people currently to raise at home nor do I…read morereceive any monetary benefit for my connection to this center, is written by a volunteer. I'm not an employee there (I'm an independent, occasional volunteer at several places including my own charity). My speciality is tutoring of all ages, writing articles and reviews for various publications (semi-autobiographical Kindle book of a female veteran forthcoming), so I thought it only fitting that I write their first review. So...onto my review of the newest Pasco charity for young people, nestled in the heart of the school zone. First, the details: 1. Seeks to serve a clientele who range in age from middle school to high school. That's generally 11+ 2. The owner and founder, Anthony Losacco, is one of the nicest people I've ever met. He's a social worker (caseworker) as his "day job," and I can tell in my interactions with him as both neighbor (since July 2018) and boss (December 2018-current) that he is sincerely interested in providing a much needed service that was not previously provided. 3. There is a board of directors that oversee, so the youth that attend and their partners are assured of discrimination-free services based on need of a safe, fun place to go, without regard to race, ethnicity, gender or gender identify, or interest (there is everything from board games to video games and free tutoring/classes on topics available). I've never seen a group of people put together something so nice, clean and classy, in such a short amount of time. Although, when I interviewed with him and got fingerprinted/background checked for the position, I began to understand how truly God must have given Tony a vision to reach an under-served, at-risk populace. Most of this is done out of his own time and money donations plus those of the volunteers and helpers who I've had the pleasure of meeting in the past six months. 4. Hours and activities TBD. As with any helpful social services nonprofit, it takes time to go from grassroots to a well-oiled machine. So, the beautiful locale is the result of a well-thought-out plan of action. My only hope is that many people in Pasco will step up to the plate...I'm a Hernando County resident with disabilities myself so my help and input are limited by that. But I have no less a heart to see these young people succeed. Bravo, to Anthony and Kiko; to all the volunteers and friends I've made along the way, and to area counselors, youth workers, and ministers I've met who have all presented this beautiful tapestry of supportive services and fun to area tweens and teens.

At first I felt excited and nervous, just because it's a new experience for me.However, Nicole, Blake, Megan & even Ms. Ivann made me feel so welcome! I joined in on a culinary class based on sauces, stocks and soups and the guests did an amazing job. The concept of the volunteer is to guide the guests & just be a kind person in their culinary journey This venue is breathtaking, the kitchen is awesome and the knowledge you gain is so worth the experience. I will definitely be back to volunteer again! The guests made: mac and cheese, green bean casserole, kale soup & an awesome salad with the veggies sourced from their own garden Please take a class!

Ever since Publix Aprons Cooking School closed, I've been looking for a cooking school that has fun adult classes. The Kitchen House has just started a monthly "book club" called Plot to Plate where they feature a book that relates to or includes recipes. This month was Lessons in Chemistry so my friends and I decided to attend. We bought our tickets in advance as classes can sell out. The classes are different prices depending on what the class is. The house is in a residential neighborhood in College Park and does not have a dedicated parking lot so I would suggest getting there early as you have to find a spot along the street. When we arrived, we were greeted and given a welcome drink, in this case Cardamom Decaf Coffee because it was cold out. One of the instructors said that normally we would walk the garden at the beginning of class and also eat outdoors but since it was cold, we were going to skip the garden and eat inside. Once everyone arrived (cooking classes can have up to 20 people), we met in the lobby to start talking about different themes of the book. Then it was time to wash up and go to the kitchen. All the ingredients were set out for us and we picked the Veggie Pot Pie table with other attendees. The instructor gave us some knife skills lessons and then we all started cooking, using the recipes at our station. Each station makes one recipe so you don't get to make everything. And, the instructors and volunteers don't show you how to make everything first (like Publix Aprons used to do). But, if you just dig in and start going, it is a lot of fun. We had some questions along the way, like is there a spatula we can use? Or, is this the flour or the cornstarch? The volunteers were great and answered everything in a friendly way. As it said you could do in the welcome email we received before the class, some folks brought their own wine and the Kitchen House provided glasses and would pour for you. I think if we go back, we would definitely bring our own wine. My friends and I made the drop biscuits for the Veggie Pot Pie, which were surprisingly easy to make. We were finished early so we also make the Brownies for dessert that used olive oil and maple syrup instead of butter and sugar. When everyone was done cooking, we gathered in the lobby again while the volunteers cleaned and set up the table for dinner. Then, it was time to eat! Dinner was served buffet style and the Kitchen House split our food for people who had different dietary restrictions. For example, some of the recipes used non-dairy alternatives as some people in the class were lactose intolerant and one person had a mushroom allergy so they got a small spinach gallette instead of the mushroom Gallette for everyone else. As we sat down to eat, we discussed the book more in depth. Everything tasted great and we had a wonderful time. We received all the recipes in an email after the class so we could make the foods at home. I will definitely be looking at other adult classes here.
