La Toque de Cindy

La Toque de Cindy promotes fun in the kitchen for kids of all ages, primarily summer camps in Palo Alto. La Toque de Cindy brings the magic of cooking and culinary fun to you through a series of online and hands on cooking classes, private events, food tastings, culinary books and camps. La Toque leads executives and staff in team building cooking exercises, hosts private cooking party events and teaches the pleasure of cooking at classes and summer cooking camps for children and teens.

The school is named La Toque de Cindy and France is where we believe much good food comes from. The school is located in Palo Alto, California, and brings lessons learned in Paris and California to you. The specialty at La Toque de Cindy is chocolate but you’ll see by the class listings and publications the commitment to California cuisine with international twists from her travels and from the backgrounds of those who teach at the school, organic agriculture, developing an enthusiasm for home cooking and fabulous food. The promotion of budding chefs is key to her mission as a way to inspire the next generation to “get back to the kitchen”.

What’s a Toque? Wearing a toque is a time honored tradition in the world of chefs. Each fold in this hat represents a dish mastered by the chef. The higher the toque the more of a big whig that chef is.
