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.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.Class Experience

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 so many of you in class, because I thrive on the interaction, the teaching, the stories, the love, and the laughter that these courses will bring. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 2024 ALL CLASSES WEEK OF WEEK OF WEEK OF 05/06: CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP 05/13: ZUPPA TOSCANO SOUP 05/20: STUFFED PEPPERS/CABBAGE 05/27: PIZZA 06/03: ZUZU's SALMON TACOS 06/10: VEG/BEEF/SEAFOOD LASAGNA 06/17: SPAGHETTI SANDWICH 06/24: PIZZA POCKETS 07/01: SALISBURY STEAK 07/08: STUFFED SHELLS 07/15: SLIDERS (YES!

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 amongst each other, while accepting 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.
