Description
Class Experience
Reading the historical American Gill Doll books brings so much of history to life, but let's get into the kitchen and find out what history TASTED like! For each of our meetings, we'll be making one dish that would have been popular during a certain doll's time. Come to this class if you'd like to taste Felicity's raspberry flummery or Kirsten's homemade butter! During each class, we will start with a brief overview of the featured doll's time period. Once we get into cooking, we'll go over...
Tenney's Cornbread: INGREDIENTS: 1 c. yellow cornmeal ½ c. grated Grana Padano cheese (Parmesan can be a substitute!) 1 tbsp. Sugar ¾ tsp. Baking soda ½ tsp. Salt 1 stick + 4 tbsp. Butter 1 c. buttermilk 1 egg 2 tbsp. Sorghum powder (molasses can be a substitute!) EQUIPMENT: Measuring cups and spoons Cast iron skillet that can go in the oven Large bowl Whisk Small pan Hand mixer
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Since we will be cooking, it is strongly suggested to have an adult nearby for help. We will be using the stove and the oven, as well as chopping ingredients. If there are any students with allergy concerns, please tell me in advance, and I will make sure not to include any recipes with your child's restrictions. I want this class to be inclusive to all. Please also keep in mind that we will have brief discussions about the doll’s time period and themes. All content will be presented in an age-appropriate manner, and discussion questions for the learners will be pulled from the American Girl Teachers Guides, which can be found for free here, if you would ever like to preview the topics: http://www.americangirlpublishing.com/marketing/teachers-guides/ I look forward to meeting your child soon!
