I encourage kids to have a hands-on learning experience with my cooking classes. I would love for them to cook step by step with me so they gain the knowledge and experience while being able to taste their end product each and every class. My teaching style is a positive reinforcement style, where I encourage questions and comments. I complete each lesson with a wrap-up page, where we review the cooking terms we learned that day. My classes are made to be fun and engaging. I will ask the children questions to ensure they are understanding the lesson and various skills of the day. They will gain confidence in the kitchen and learn life skills on how to stay safe in the kitchen while preparing delicious and fun dishes. In this class, kiddos will learn how to transform fresh herbs into a delicious fresh pesto and how to make homemade cheese ravioli from wonton wrappers. Making Pasta doesn't need to be hard. It's the perfect recipe combination for a summer meal.
Learning Goals
Kids will learn safety around the kitchen and how to properly read and understand following a recipe while preparing a delicious recipe that is guaranteed to impress. We will work on measurements, cooking terms, and why following directions while cooking is imperative. We will learn how to use a blender or food processor to make our pesto.

Parental Guidance
Safety is the number one priority when in the kitchen. There will be times when we will be using the stove and it is imperative that the children are safe and have an adult nearby to oversee them during those times. I will be sure to go over how we work around a stove, how we open a pot of boiling water and proper safety measures when cooking on a stove.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been working as a kids enrichment teacher for the last 3 years. I love teaching children and allowing them to create and think outside the box. I have a 9-year-old son who is on the Autism Spectrum, so am a very patient and understanding teacher. I realize all children learn differently and it is imperative to really listen to each child in order for them to feel secure and safe.Reviews
