In this four-part FLEX class, students will learn how to make holiday treats from scratch to share with family and friends. This class will be a combination of PowerPoint, demonstration, discussion (in the Outschool classroom) and will incorporate additional videos. Students can participate along as the teacher leads them through the steps of the recipe. In addition to learning new recipes, students will gain confidence and experience in their own kitchen. Other topics that will be covered during class times will include recipe writing, grocery planning, and understanding price tag of items. Students will be asked to share photos and or videos of their final results in the classroom and to participate in classroom discussions.

Since my twins were extremely young, they have always been in the kitchen with me cooking and creating. We learned to adapt recipes to fit our dietary needs as one of my daughters was diagnosed with severe food allergies as a toddler.Reviews
