Class experience

Students will gain confidence in the kitchen by learning delicious recipes and developing their cooking and baking skills.
They will also learn how to measure ingredients and put them in order of usage, mix, and bake them in a very hands-on way. 
I have two degrees in culinary arts - one taken in Brazil and one in the U.S. I was born and raised in Brazil, and I have been working with culinary for 10 years. 
Homework Offered
Students will be required to post a picture or video of the food they made and some comments on how they experienced each recipe, how difficult they were, how they liked it, and any questions they have about them. They also need to comment on each other's posts to keep an exciting environment for interactions between the learners.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
This class requires the use of equipment and utensils such as a stove, oven, knives, blender, mixers, and others. Most of the recipes ask for cutting, boiling, frying, baking products, and other hazardous tasks that can lead to cuts, burns, and other kinds of injuries during their preparation. I will be teaching the safety of operating equipment and using utensils, but parental supervision and help during these tasks are required at all times. The recipes call for many ingredients, so please, check them for any food restrictions and/or potential allergens for your children. Each week I will be posting the supply list for the next week in the classroom.

Profile
Culinary is my passion. I love cooking and teaching it. It is an amazing pleasure for me to see people learning how to cook or making foods they enjoy eating. Cooking is a kind of language where people can understand each other without speaking...
