Children’s Fairyland partners with Visit Oakland to invite the culinary curious for a very new event series, Oakland’s Magic Kitchen! Hosted by Quercus (kwur-kuhs), Fairyland’s brand-new puppet mascot, and a Guest Chef from Oakland’s culinary world, each event engages the audience in playful kitchen antics and demystifies the basics of cooking. Event attendees will watch in awe while the Guest Chef demonstrates the steps of a recipe, everything from preparing the ingredients and the tools they use to food facts and kitchen rules. Quercus, the ever-inquisitive Puppet, will ask the audience and Guest Chef questions to discover how it all works together to make a delectable, nutritious treat or meal. Good food is for everyone, and we hope to promote health, well-being, and the love of food for the next generation of Oaklanders.

Quercus, our fairy-special puppet mascot, makes their debut at the first event of this series, making September 16 an auspicious, delicious day! Be the first to meet and greet and eat!
