Future Chef's Baking Club (Yummy Sweets)
In this weekly, ongoing course, learners will develop culinary skills while learning to read recipes and create some delicious sweet treats. I like to keep class sizes small to meet the needs of learners of all abilities.

What's included
1 live meeting
55 mins in-class hours per weekClass Experience
Students will be taught about a variety of tools used every day in the kitchen. They will learn proper technique for measuring ingredients, preheating the oven, creating different foods from recipes. There is no better application of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) than through cooking and baking. We will discuss the science behind the way some foods are made. We will use a variety of kitchen equipment and discuss possible solutions of substitutions of equipment and ingredients. We will use math skills when measuring using standard and nonstandard measuring tools. We will also discuss diverse cultures as we create authentic delicacies. We will also discuss the origins of some of our favorite foods. This club meets once a week. This will be an ongoing club where learners can sign up for cooking classes according to their personal interests. Recipes will vary from class to class. We will bake with and without yeast. Our baking menu will be made up of sweet baked goods. We will learn about some traditions that are associated with cooking such as the southern tradition of never returning an empty plate to someone who has brought you a treat. One of the recipes that will be included in the rotation are home made pie with a crust recipe that has been in my family for over 100 years. Other recipes include cinnamon rolls, home made sweet rolls, and chocolate chip "cowboy" cookies. We will learn about measuring and reading recipes at every club meeting. Prior meetings are not required before attending other club meetings. We will talk about the science associated with cooking foods and sanitary and hygienic practices in the kitchen. Students will be encouraged to share their food preferences as well as foods that they are interested in learning to cook. I do not cook alongside the learners. Instead, I walk them through following recipes. I feel this is the best way to devote 100% of my class time to meeting student’s needs. Depending on the number of learners and their skill sets class might possibly end prior to the 55 minute set time. #superstar
