Let's make a treasure trove of cookies for the Winter Break or anytime. In this camp students, will learn how to plan ahead and build their own cookie stash(aka a cookie cache). During Operation Cookie Camp, students learn to accurately measure baking ingredients, read a recipe, plan ahead, make a frozen cookie dough cache, and a baked cookie stash. It is a live fun cooking camp where students will measure, mix, and bake cookies. We will follow easy instructions from beginning to end: 1. Gather ingredients and supplies 2. Measure and prep 3. Mix and freeze the dough 4. Assemble the dough on cookie sheets 5. Bake the cookie dough 6. Cool, stash, and/or serve the cookies 7. Eat, save, or share Oh, so why did I call it "Operation Camp Cookie" ? Well I called it that because it is a mission with a purpose. If you choose to learn to make these cookies great! But if you choose to accept the following mission even better: 1. You will learn the life skill of making drop cookies and single handedly conquer boredom in four days. 2. You can meet other people through class. 3. You can store your cookies for a later date. It is always good to plan ahead! 4. You can share your cookies with unsuspecting recipients. I love to teach the science and the art of making good food. My teaching philosophy is to set my students up for success and teach them why we do what we do. I like beautiful and tasty food. However, I found that bakers succeed through preparation, knowledge, and patience. My teaching style is interactive. My classes build kitchen confidence, sanitation awareness, and viable skills. Once a student learns to read a recipe or follow directions, they have obtained a valuable skill set.

Illinois Teaching Certificate
I have an extensive kitchen history that includes baking. I come from a line of great cooks. My Aunt Elaine, grandmother, and father were legends. I was fortunate to attend Home Economics class in High School and became a self-taught cake decorator by 16. I went on to take formal classes from CIA( Culinary Institute of America) graduates and worked under few chefs. But my all time favorite class was Food Chemistry. Most of my cooking experience has been gained in other people's kitchen in Sweden, Japan, St. John V.I., and throughout the United States. I have taught students as young as 2 years old to adults. I am certified in Food Sanitation and Safety. I am available to host group classes, gatherings, and parties. My classroom goal is to emphasize the importance of preparation, knowledge, and patience. My teaching style is interactive. My classes build kitchen confidence, sanitation awareness, and viable skills. Reviews
