In this on-going weekly class, we will study cooking and baking vocabulary, recipes and techniques. Our lessons will focus on everything from the basics to different methods of baking and cooking to teach a variety of skills and techniques.

Class experience

Students will learn to use math, reading and time management skills in this cooking class.
I love to bake and have sold/donated my cakes for many years. I cook the “grandma” recipes that taste great but may look more old fashioned to younger students. I also experiment with quicker recipes and new flavor combinations. My grandmother taught me many of these recipes when I was young so it is very special to me. I taught my daughter to bake when she was little and taught cooking classes for young people as well. I love that we add in history, science and math in a hands-on class.
Homework Offered
Recipes may finish baking after class ends. Homework will include an evaluation sheet that the baker will complete about the recipe. They can also share pictures, stories or opinions about their weekly desserts. If they have a family recipe they want us to make then we will include it on our schedule. I love to learn new recipes!
