Assignments

1 hour per week. There will never be homework assigned during classes with CHEF KENDAD. Although experimentation using the skills learned in class will be encouraged, it will be up to the individual SMALL(ER) HUMAN to use his/her knowledge on their own time. HOWEVER, there will always be suggestions and tips for everyone to use in their daily lives, with the hope that those ideas will always come back better. ON THE OTHER HAND, there will be specific directions for certain items to be prepared prior to class. This usually entails chopping certain items, rehydrating pasta, etc.

Projects

There will never be homework assigned during classes with CHEF KenDad. Although experimentation using the skills learned in class will be encouraged, it will be up to the individual SMALL(ER) HUMANS to use his/her knowledge on their own time. HOWEVER, there will always be suggestions and tips for everyone to use in their daily lives, with the hope that those ideas will always come back better. Additionally, there will always be very specific pre-class preparations to include chopping certain items, boiling certain items, etc

Assessment

At the end of every session, each SMALL HUMAN will receive a verbal assessment regarding interaction, creativity, sharing, understanding, effort, and, most importantly, appreciation.

    ******* NOW, I HAVE A SPECIAL NOTE FOR THE "LARGE HUMANS" *********

If you have a SMALLER HUMAN with any type of learning or social need, feel 
free to contact me on this platform with your concerns. Whether it be AUTISM,
ADHD, PTSD, ANXIETY, DISLEXIA, INSECURITY....whatever! we can find a 
common ground of 1:1 classes, longer classes, or PRIVATE classes of similar 
need group(s). HOWEVER, I would prefer to make every class accessible and 
open to every single SMALL or SMALLER HUMAN.  

*You can freely speak to other LARGE HUMANS about the current enrollment
  of their special needs SMALLER HUMAN*

                           ** Together, we can make this work for everybody. **

                    ******** NOW, FOR THE SMALLER HUMANS ****************

Join me for an amazing journey of tasty creativity, and delicious learning, 
while we explore "comfort food" just like Gramma used to make; and other 
popular dishes that she probably wished that she had made.
While having fun as we create, you will be encouraged to discuss your own 
cooking experiences with each other, as well as being allowed time to ask 
questions about what it is, exactly, that we will be doing, and why!

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

                 ******************* NOW, FOR EVERYONE ********************

All preparation steps of all dishes will be explained by CHEF KenDad while 
asking that adult supervision always be nearby to assist SMALL(ER) HUMANS 
with steps that require the use of heat (stoves, ovens, air fryers, etc.) 
and/or knives (cutting, peeling, slicing). Additionally, for each recipe, a
complete list of ingredients and utensils can be found at 

                                                    chefkendad.info

  ******* PLEASE, PLEASE BE AWARE ******* PLEASE, PLEASE BE AWARE ******* 

Whenever a SMALL HUMAN falls behind, during the cooking process, I will not 
make it known to everyone. Instead, I will eliminate minor ingredients in order 
to keep them on track. For that reason, occasionally, you will have left over 
items that were not used. I hope you understand.

I really hope to see you in class, because I thrive on the interaction, the 
teaching, the stories, the love, and the laughter that these courses will bring.

Learning Goals

SMALL HUMANS of all ages will learn about BLURBLE-measuring, proper food handling, knife safety, storage, and clean up. We will learn to share ideas and techniques with each other, while accepting ALL varying opinions, thoughts, and desires about cooking.

Other Details

Learning Needs

Although not specifically designed for any type of special need, every student is welcome, and will feel at home, here in my kitchen. In fact, a mother of a SPECIAL NEEDS SMALL HUMAN has volunteered to speak with anyone with any questions.

Parental Guidance

LARGE HUMAN supervision will be highly advised during all uses of sharp knives, heavy lifting, heat rendering devises, mechanical mixers, and the use of mixing bowls for liquids. REMEMBER: If you aren't making a mess, you probably aren't having any fun.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

I have been cooking for more than 30 years. My talents have been developed commercially, as well as in my home.

Whether it was cooking alongside my grandmother when I was a SMALL HUMAN, or behind the scenes with a 5-Star Chef, I have gained experience in Fast Food, Fine Dining, Casual Dining, Greasy Spoons.... 

I have been a dish washer, bus boy, waiter, prep cook, Junior Chef, Kitchen Manager, Sous Chef, and General Manager.

HOWEVER, my greatest assets are patience, empathy, understanding, and the will to teach what I know.

I also want to have.................FUN

I have tutored Mathematics, Engineering, English, Reading Recovery, aaaaaannnnnnnd there is another subject that I just cannot remember at this time. The more I try to think about it, the hungrier I get. So, in the meantime, until I am able to remember, I guess I'm just gonna go make lunch ............ HOLD IT! THAT'S IT: COOKING!
