Dinner Is Served! An Ongoing Cooking Club (Ages 11-15)

Let's cook up a yummy dinner every week from scratch. You do the cooking and give your parents a break! The recipe changes weekly. We'll do 3-6 months of meals before we repeat recipes.

What's included

1 live meeting
1 in-class hours per week
Homework
1 hour per week. I will make every effort to have our meal completed as class ends, but there are some recipes that just take a little longer than the time we have so, students may be left with taking the meal from the oven to serve or finishing a few last minute details we do not have time for in class. I will leave them with all instructions needed to finish up. They will also be responsible for all clean up that has not been finished as they go.

Class Experience

Welcome cooks/young chefs!  If you're wanting to learn to cook or just learn new recipes, this weekly ongoing cooking class is for you.  Join us for this weekly cooking club as we work through each step of the recipe together to create delicious meals for your family!   Each main dish will take 45-60 minutes to create not including any extra needed bake time. You’ll  improve your food preparation skills (how to slice, dice, chop, etc.,  learn more about food safety, build your kitchen confidence and add new, yummy recipes to your recipe file that you can create for your family again and again. 

The list of ingredients will be posted in the classroom 3-5 days before we make the meal to give you plenty of time to get everything ready, or to decide to pause for the week if you cannot eat the recipe or it's just not for you. I will send out the full recipe the day of the class to print for your recipe file.   I will also let you know what will need to be prepared before class, such at mincing garlic, chopping any vegetables, etc.  This will be on the ingredient list, otherwise we most often have time to do all preparation in class.

Because there are things I cannot eat any more but recognize there are some recipes my students loved- occasionally I will not cook with the kids but will help them create the recipe as I watch them and talk them through it, being available for more questions.

** Please note-It's not the norm to refund each time a student misses a class as they are able to watch the class video later when they are home from a camp or vacation (I have many students who do the classes on their vacation!), or when they are feeling better if they get sick, and still receive most of the benefits of the class.  I send them the ingredient list the week before, the recipe the morning of the class for their records, and then the class is recorded at the listed time.  
With that said there are sometimes extenuating circumstances in-which you have no control!  If you are in need of a refund in these cases please message me so we can talk!
Learning Goals
2-Students will become more confident and independent in the kitchen.  They will learn about seasonings and spices, basic cooking techniques, kitchen safety, and more, collecting recipes they can go back to with confidence and cook again.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
My cooking experience began probably around 5 years old.  We had 6 kids growing up plus, relatives close in age that were often around for meals. (I never learned to cook in small quantity!)   Being the oldest, I always helped in the kitchen and learned to love cooking, canning and baking from a young age.  I might say my mom was a great teacher!  With our 5 children I felt it important to teacher them from a young age to be confident and knowledgeable in the kitchen, and to enjoy the process.  I've also taught bread making classes for years.
