What's included
Class Experience
In this 4 week flex class, we will focus on beautiful and delicious No-Bake Desserts! These desserts will be beautiful and extremely delicious, perfect for special occasions or an everyday dinner! During the videos I will prepare the desserts from start to finish so that your learner can fully replicate the process. None of these recipes require baking, but most will be set up in either a fridge or freezer. I will post the recipes, which will include materials needed, for each week on Sundays in the classroom. **Flex classes DO NOT have live meetings.** The 4 week flex class will focus on 4 desserts. During the week learners will also be required to post videos/photos of them cooking, and a photo of the finished product. They will also be required to comment on other learner's photos/videos to provide encouragement and respectful comments. As part of the course, and to increase engagement with learners I will post some games and activities for them to complete during the week!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! My name is Mary and I'm a professionally trained chef with experience in restaurants, country clubs, catering, and institutional cooking. I love to train young chefs in the "hows" and "whys" of cooking so every meal will be delicious! I thoroughly believe in hand on instruction, for cooking there is no other way. There is a ton of math, science, and creativity involved in cooking, so I try to feature those elements as well whenever I can.
My sister is a teacher and I have learned a lot of good tips and tricks for introducing a love of literacy to young children! I enjoy reading aloud to my family and like to offer classes that involve reading and snacking!
I enjoy having inquisitive learners in my classes, you will not find a class that's all PowerPoint or an all mute class from me. I love for students to ask questions, be curious, and make comments. I love to eat, travel, read, laugh, and spend time with my kids and family. I also am passionate about arts and crafts and love to get messy once in a while with glitter!
If you have a child that's passionate about culinary arts please message me about one-on-one cooking lessons and/or sessions. I can also do private birthday parties where we can cook or bake together.
