Students can follow along with the video, pause at any time, write for help from the instructor, follow along with the recipe print-out and discuss recipes with fellow classmates. Being a mom, employee and tea party addict, I realized the importance of not only time management in the kitchen, but also passing along a love of cooking to my family. For over twenty-years I collected hundreds of cookbooks, went to countless cooking classes and cooked meals in bulk with my family on the weekends. My family owned two restaurants in NY when I was growing up and I learned early on that cooking can bring a family closer together in the sense that it relaxes, leads to greater dialogue and of course, ends with a delicious family meal. My favorite meals were on the weekend, lazy days where we finally were able to sleep in and wake up to brunch. Brunch is so versatile; the possibilities are endless. In this class we will make breakfast casseroles, mocktails, soups and salads, quick and easy breakfasts and shakes. You also can take any of these recipes and have afternoon or high tea, or even eat them for dinner. Most of the recipes can be made ahead, frozen, and some you can even make in bulk. Class Interaction: Each week students will go to the classroom and reflect on how the creation of their recipe went, the good and the bad. If possible, (optional) they will post a picture of their finished product and a video as a food critic. Students will post a recipe rating, 1-5 stars, explaining why they rated the recipe this way. Students can act and produce a video as a food critic and explain the star rating. We will each comment on student posts. We will also discuss how the recipe could be improved or if we like it just the way it is. Kahoot quizzes will also be offered as another way to interact with the topic. Students will not need to create an account; teacher will assign quiz link in the classroom. Directions, nutrition (when available) and storing information for each recipe will be given out weekly in the classroom so students can follow along with the instructor. Note: Students in any of my cooking classes will receive free access for the month they are enrolled to my Group: The Great Student Bake Off.

Teacher uses Canva and Kahoot to teach but students will not need to create their own account. Students will be given a link for a Kahoot Quiz to end our class time. I use Canva for my videos. Each week in our classroom you will be given a link that will take you directly to my power points and/or Videos.
The time I post my videos varies depending on my schedule. All videos will be posted on our class day.
ALLERGY STATEMENT: Ingredients for recipes may include common allergens such as Dairy, Eggs, Fish, Shellfish, Tree Nuts, Peanuts, Wheat & Soy. If the learner has dietary restrictions, please contact the instructor so she may be able to suggest ways to adapt the recipe, typically by substitution, or omission of the allergen. (Requires at least 72 hours' notice.) Not all recipes can be adapted. Instructor does not have the ability to ensure that the items you purchase will be completely free of allergens. It's up to the adults responsible for each learner to ensure that products brought into the learners' kitchens are allergen-free.
