Cooking 101 (Flexible Schedule)

This class is an asynchronous cooking class, designed to teach students how to make simple easy meals and desserts for the whole family. In this month-long class, we will learn to make breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. There will be no live classes. Learners may do this at their own pace. 

Each week, I will one recipe to the classrooms page, along with detailed instructions and a step-by-step PowerPoint for each recipe with photos to help guide the student while cooking/baking their recipe.   Each week the learners will need to take pictures of their baking experience. These photos need to be about the beginning, middle, and end of their baking to show progress. Remember to take a photo of the final product. These photos they will then use to create a PowerPoint showing their baking journey to be submitted the final week of class.  
 
They will need to prepare a short PowerPoint presentation to be uploaded to the classrooms page. (There will be a quick easy guide to PowerPoints for reference.) In the PowerPoint, they will need to share what they liked/disliked about each recipe, what they could have done differently, and any changes that they made to their recipe. Please it is important for you to look at each individual's PowerPoint and provide positive feedback to each person. Throughout the course, we will have fun little trivia games about the recipes for each week using Kahoots.

As we go through this learning process, we will discuss on the classrooms page healthy and unhealthy food choices, options that we can choose to make our selection healthier, we will discuss substitutions and/or additions to the recipe. We will discuss food preparation, the proper way to handle food, and ways to stay safe while using the stove and oven. We will share our experiences on the classrooms page, discuss our favorite fruits, vegetables, etc., and how we could incorporate some into our meals.
