Overview
This fun, hands-on course teaches children and teens to prepare very simple recipes with limited kitchen knowledge. Each one-hour class includes hands-on food preparation and tasting session—which gets the participants in the kitchen without the extra expense of the more formalized lesson plans. Each class includes recipe, shopping list, tool list and setup.
Quick Start
A kitchen is required. Simply provide a sink and tables or a common work area to accommodate the number of students expected. Because of the nature of some organizations; each class is prepared as a stand-alone session.
The course is divided into six classes, described below. These classes are optimized for delivery as one-hour sessions taught one time per week for six weeks as part of an after-school program.
