Recipes might be modified depending on participants needs. 

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Parents with young children are encouraged to assist their child in tasks like cutting and boiling water. When cooking with a stove and/or a knife is required, students with adult supervision can complete the cooking either during the class or after the class has ended.  When a recipe calls for the use of a stove, students under the age of 12 need to have an adult on the premises.  If the parent or guardian does not plan on being on the premises, please send us a message. Please note that the class duration may extend depending on how the cooking progresses.
