Faraday's Kitchen Store employs a variety of chef camp instructors for Chef Summer Camp, all of whom have experience in children's culinary instruction, nutrition and food safety. We have 2 chef instructors work each camp.
The Chef instructors for our 2023 Kids Chef Summer Camp program are Chef Jenna Rasmussen and Chef Kela Hunte.
Chef Jenna Rasmussen can't wait to work with future chefs this summer! She has a degree in Art, one in Culinary Arts, and a third in Hotel and Restaurant Management, and worked in many restaurants before becoming a culinary arts teacher. Now that she has two children, she has become a full-time mom, but still finds time to teach and cater from time to time. She believes that food will always connect her to memories and the people she loves.
Chef Kela "Keii" Hunte, a local Austin celebrity chef, is proud to partner with Faraday's Kitchen Store to share her culinary expertise and passion with the community, particularly focusing on children.
As the owner of Keii Desserts, Keii has turned her love for baking into a thriving business, selling thousands of cookies and other baked goods. Her exceptional talent earned her recognition as one of America's top 6 home bakers, and she has even competed on the Food Network alongside Martha Stewart.
Keii's dedication to children's culinary education led her to create and implement an after-school and summer camp program at the Regents School of Austin during her tenure as Food Service Director. This program focuses on fostering children's creativity and teaching them the essentials of cooking and baking.
Don't miss the chance for your child to learn from a renowned professional and ignite their passion for cooking and baking!
