In this cooking class, I will be teaching your children how to make a chocolate chip french toast with cinnamon whipped cream, berries and maple syrup. 

In the first few minutes of class, I would just like to learn a little bit about my students. I want to know if they cook at home or what their favorite dish is. In this class, I want to teach them how to make a fancy french toast, so that they'll probably never have to dine out just to have a good looking french toast with all the bells and whistles. They'll be able to make it themselves from home!

We will discuss safety, measurements, equipment use and presentation. 

We will talk about the origins of this dish and how it has become so popular in our American breakfast and brunch menu today...even if it isn't French.

Next we will dive in to the cooking. I will be teaching from my home kitchen which will be brightly lit so that they can see everything clearly. I will give them step by step instructions and will watch them with close supervision. Through our zoom platform, I will share my screen that focus on the dish yet they'll still be able to see me verbally giving instructions through the main camera.

I will always share recipes that have been proven to work time and time again. This comes from the many, many years of experience I've had working at the most luxurious hotels and restaurants where guests simply expect perfection. Your little chefs will spoil you very soon!

I am a very patient teacher. I like to invest in my learners in the very beginning so I can build good habits and skills. I also want my students to be comfortable around me. I've hosted many in-person cooking classes for children. I want them to know that it is okay to make mistakes. This is how I learned too. I like to crack jokes to bring a lighter air into the classroom and so students have fun while cooking and learning. They can ask questions at any time and I will be looking at their work individually and give them praise and/or constructive feedback if needed. I have worked in many kitchens around the world, so I am comfortable working with a diverse group of nationalities. I am fluent in Spanish so I can also offer this class as an immersion program.

Your children do not need to have previous knowledge or experience in the kitchen. Just the love of food, cooking and learning. I'll take it from there!
