Let's make some summer time goodies using a fun fruit: strawberries! In this class, we will be making strawberry frozen yogurt, strawberry lemonade poke cake and strawberry cheesecake dip. In this class students will learn by doing! There will not be any power points or slide shows; we will jump right into the kitchen and get to cooking! In this class, we will begin at the prep of the food and end with a yummy completed recipe. We will have a continued discussion of the recipe while cooking, along with socializing about hobbies, favorite dishes, etc. Students should have basic knowledge of cooking. For example, the learner should be familiar with working a stove top, oven, microwave, blender, mixer, food processor, etc. I will go over these things in class but students should have a little prior knowledge, as it can be difficult to help with these things without being hands on! We will do each step of the recipe together. Once the student is finished, they are encouraged to share a photo/review of the taste with me on the classroom discussion. Students are also encouraged to share a photo/video of themselves cooking or their finished dish. The goal of this course is to provide the student with new skills, confidence in the kitchen, social skills, and of course, yummy recipes for the whole family to enjoy! *I will NOT be cooking every class. I will, however, be demonstrating with my hands and words and have completed hundreds of cooking classes without issue with this technique :)
