Class Experience

New Saturday Class starting January 11, 2025 (10:30 EST)

Please feel free to jump into any class at any time, new recipes each week!  Also, come join me for a one-day freezer meal workshop if you would like to get to know me first.
Also note, all new sections start with the Eggs Benedict Casserole and cinnamon roll Bake.  You may get this recipe in your introduction but please check with instructor as to what week we are on, if the class has already started, we will be on a different recipe.


     In this class we create delicious meals such as quiche and eggs benedict, special brunch drinks, bulk freezable meals and so much more.  We will also do a skill of the week, everything from how to make the perfect pie crust to knife sharpening and skills. 

      Each class will offer one or two recipes and alternative recipes (by request) for those with specific dietary needs.  Students can double or even triple each recipe and have one after class but also save one for the next day, and in some cases freeze for the weeks ahead.  A week before each class students will be given a recipe and list of ingredients and items that are needed to properly prepare, cook, and store the selection.  Nutrition values will be given whenever possible. Different discussions will occur including, safety, cleaning, storing, serving, spending, volunteering and more.  Recipes in many cases can be cooked in the oven, slow cooker, microwave or instant pot.  Although I have an Instant Pot, I will not encourage students in the class to use them, just because I worry about the steam.  That will be a parent/student decision. 

Although Outschool does not want parents on camera with their learners, I do hope that parents will indeed help with the recipes and have fun with their students. Not to mention, enjoy the meal.



Please note:  Recipes can be modified to suit individual tastes and to fit what you have on hand.  I do recommend following the recipes as closely as possible, however, if you dislike certain ingredients, in most cases it is okay to omit.  Please ask the teacher if you are unsure.  

This class may run over class time depending on learner skill level.  I recommend leaving yourself an extra 20 minutes just in case before your next class.  Some weeks are super speedy, some are a bit longer.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Parental/Adult guidance is suggested during this course, especially if your student intends to cook their masterpiece. I recommend using a slow cooker whenever possible as they seem the safest route but, they do get hot and oven mitts and supervision will be necessary. At times we will also have recipes that must go in an oven or items that must be cooked on the stove-top. I know many students are capable of doing this, but at the same time there are safety risks that go with most kitchen items. Recipes will require the handling of a knife for chopping as well. If safety is a concern, an adult can prep the recipe ahead of time and have the student put ingredients together during class without cooking. Recipes can be put in a freezer until an adult is available to assist, or in the fridge for 1-2 day usage. Please do not have your student cook their recipe without an adult present in the home. I will at times use my instapot (it is a slow cooker as well). If you decide to go that route, please make sure your student understands the safety risks involved with venting and steam. Note: Recipe should be read fully before class. There is often prep work on the day of class and I like the students to mise en place (get their tools and ingredients together) at least an hour ahead of class. Warning: Please review each recipe in detail. . Possible allergens include: milk, nuts, wheat, dairy, eggs, or soy. Alternative recipes or ideas can be provided if you contact the instructor ahead of time. Please give at least three days notice. You can also tailor your recipe to your own tastes.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Doctoral Degree from State University of Buffalo School of Law
My teaching experience is varied. I grew up with a family that ran two restaurants and have attended cooking classes all over the world. Food preparation just is part of my identity; it is something I love.  I am also a Professor, attorney and mother of seven.  I have taught everything from pre-k to Graduate School and have both homeschooled/unschooled and chosen traditional routes for my children. I have decided to teach this class simply for my love of cooking, family meals, and to share something I am passionate about.
