In this ongoing cooking class students will make a different dinner with me every week! We will make foods of all kinds, investigate and use in-season fruits and vegetables when available, and learn and improve kitchen skills and food safety. PLEASE SEE MENUS BELOW In this class students will learn by doing! Most weeks our lesson will take us from preparation through the completion of the meal. Occasionally dishes with a longer baking time may finish after class ends. Families should purchase supplies ahead of time, and students should be prepared to cook at the beginning of each class. We will review kitchen and food safety for each meeting, discuss ingredients, equipment and alternatives. I will demonstrate each step of the cooking process, ask and answer questions and check in with students at each step. Students will be provided with the recipe through the Outschool discussion board for the class, and I will also include the directions in the chat throughout the class in the Zoom classroom. The goal of this course is to provide the learner with the opportunity to learn new skills, and recipes, while building their confidence in the kitchen through both the preparation of delicious food, and building a supportive community of students who love to cook food and help their parents take a break from cooking.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to make delicious dinners for their family.
Students will also learn to safely use kitchen tools, to keep preparation areas clean, and to keep foods at safe temperatures.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
This is a cooking class that involves the use of knives, and a stovetop or oven. Parents must be present in the home in case of accidents or emergencies, and available if their student needs assistance.
Because this is an ongoing class with students coming and going each week, this is not an introductory knife skills class. Students need not be experts, but should be familiar with knives. I will review knife safety in every class that uses knives, demonstrate each cut, I wait for students to cut at their pace. At their request I will stop to answer questions, repeat information, watch them cut, wait for them to finish, or give an additional demonstration. Please encourage your student to speak up! Sometimes they have cameras off, angled elsewhere, and/or remain quiet and it can be difficult for me to know if they need help, or more time. Please make sure they have sharp knives and conducer buying them their own chef's knife with a shorter blade meant for smaller hands. They should not use steak knives as a substitute.
It is the your responsibility to review the ingredients each week and to let me know if there are any allergies so I can help you find an alternative at least 24 hours before class. Families should purchase supplies ahead of time and students should be prepared to cook with me. Ingredients and equipment should be out and ready to go at the beginning of class. Your student will most likely fall behind if they are not prepared at the beginning of class, and miss directions because they are looking for supplies.
Thank you!

I use many recipes that are available online. These are free resources that I can legally share with you. If I use a published recipe, you will find the link to the full original recipe on the top left side of the supply list. If the recipe is my own, or an adaptation of another recipe you will see all of the directions as well as the supplies. I encourage you to check out these websites for more recipe ideas. I do a lot of homework researching recipes that rely on classic techniques, taste great, can be prepared in an hour or less, and are not too crazy difficult. If you cook with me long enough, you will see that I have my favorite resources that keep coming back!

I have been cooking, baking and feeding people my whole life. My cooking focuses on foods that are whole, natural, and healthy, but we may have a splurge week, or add in a treat occasionally! I am very serious about kitchen safety regarding both tools and food, supporting my students with the knowledge and practice of solid kitchen safety habits.Reviews
