CHEF IT UP 2 GO - Essex County NJ Travel Team
My name is Jiangling. One mother's day when my son was five, he brought home a sheet “all about mom”, he wrote: she is really good at cooking. I am so thrilled to see how he loves my cooking and how he enjoys to cook with me. I love kids and I love cooking. When I came into the Nutley Chef It Up party place for the first time, I immediately knew when kids and cooking meet together, how fun it could be! With our Chef It Up 2 Go - Essex County Travel Team we offer all types of programs from after school enrichment programs, summer camps, birthday parties, troop events to much more! Please call or email me to see how we can bring to cooking fun to you! Whether you are 2 1/2 or 102 you will have a blast at our fun filled cooking programs!
