In this 6 lesson, self-paced baking class, teens will learn 6 fun international cookie recipes. Some of these cookies may be familiar, while others may become new favorites! Here are the cookies that will be covered: Please note that there are no live meetings to this class. Videos and recipes will be posted for each lesson, as well as history/trivia for that lesson's recipes. I am always available for feedback and/or questions (with a response within 24 hours), and can try to help modify recipes as I am able to help with your dietary restrictions!

Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate
My name is Rochelle Van Der Merwe, but most people call me Chef Ro (it's just easier!). I graduated from The Art Institute with my culinary degree, and I have been in the food industry as a professional for nearly 15 years. I have been teaching for almost 10 years now, both to home cooks and to future professionals. I have taught at recreational schools, Culinary Schools, and most recently at a high school.
I have cooked in both restaurants and catering companies. I have also been the Executive Chef of a hospital, run recreational cooking programs all over the country, and even done some private chef work. I have worked professionally on both the culinary side and the pastry side, and have taught both for many years. I simply love showing people that cooking is not difficult, and can also be quite fun!
I do have two four-legged colleagues of the kitty variety that will sometimes cry because they want to be on camera. But I assure you - I don't let the cat hair get in the food!
