OUR STORY
Hello!
I’m Mirlaine, mom, wife and every day cook! I'm also a certified culinary nutrition expert and owner and founder of Cook and Create for Kids LLC. Cook and Create for Kids focuses on teaching children, families and individuals the essentials of cooking so that they can have the confidence to explore in the kitchen. With a strong emphasis on simplifying cultural and healthy cooking, these classes are sure to inspire you to cook more and eat better. In short, I strive to make healthy food fun.
So, if we haven’t met yet, hopefully you can take part in a cooking class soon and we can learn and have fun together.

The Inspiration
This is Francoise, my maternal grandma. She arrived in NYC from Jacmel, Haiti in the 80's. I had the honor of growing up with her, which shaped a large part of my life. Not only did I learn the fundamentals of cooking and a love for our native Haitian food, but I got to witness patience and kindness every day I was able to spend with her.
She always welcomed me into the kitchen with a smile, took the time to teach me and never turned me away. This is the lesson that I remember and bring forth when I am teaching my girls and other students. This is the lesson that I hope to share with countless children.
