About CharKIDerie

This summer, we are excited to host a series of family-friendly culinary classes called Family CharKIDerie! As a family program, one child and one parent/guardian will work together during the class.

In this first session, we will tour the beloved Taniguchi Japanese Garden, built in the late 1960s by Isamu Taniguchi. We will then create Japanese Garden inspired charcuterie boards. You will learn to make veggie sushi, served with edamame, apple walnut salad, and for dessert, a strawberry shortcake all delightfully arranged on a board.

Notice about Accessibility

The Taniguchi Japanese Garden is not wheelchair accessible, due to its being built on a steep hillside. You are welcome to view the garden from a higher vantage and still participate in the class. Please email info@zbgconservancy.org if you have any concerns about mobility.

About the Instructor

My name is Cindy, and I created CharKIDerie to combine my passions for teaching, making healthy food, and helping kids become more independent and confident. CharKIDerie began as an after-school program designed to create a fun and interactive environment for preparing and trying new foods together. The experience has been incredibly rewarding, leading me to expand our classes to the Zilker Botanical Garden and private events.

Join us for a CharKIDerie class and experience the joy of making delicious, healthy snacks with your child. It’s a fantastic opportunity to bond, learn new skills, and inspire a love for healthy eating in a fun and supportive setting. Sign up today and let's create some wonderful memories together!
