Class Experience
In the culinary industry, the heart of a restaurant is its kitchen! In this flex class, students will venture into the heart of their own homes to create delicious meals that can be served to the people they love the most. The dishes in this class have been chosen with beginner students and intermediate students in mind. Most of the dishes are planned seasonally so that your student will be able to use fresh and in-season ingredients. Your student will not only learn delicious cooking, but ways to make dinner healthier too. This class is great for after school and homeschool students. 1. Your student will learn to cook a recipe from scratch. 2. Your student will become more confident in the kitchen and learn new techniques. 3. Cooking/ Baking involves learning and practicing measurement and math. 4. Your student will practice reading and following directions. 5. Your student will practice problem solving and creativity. 6. Your student will be able to interact with other students, enhancing social skills while building life skills. 7. Your student will learn plating and serving tips. This is still an interactive cooking class and your student will be able to view my original videos that will demonstrate the recipe for each week. I will have one camera that is dedicated just to the work station so your student can see exactly what is taking place. Students will be encouraged to share pictures of the finished product with me, and if they would like, to post it in the classroom for others to see their finished product. Students will also have the opportunity to chime in on questions posted in the classroom during the week. Each week the class video will be uploaded each week and students are expected to have a photo of their completed dish by the following week. If your student has any allergies, please contact me and I would be happy to provide you with a recipe with substitutions. Entrees: Week 1: Easy Chili Week 2: Maple Salmon with Roasted Vegetables Week 3: Baked Macaroni and Cheese Week 4: Chicken Parmesan

Parental Guidance
While kitchen safety will be addressed in each class, parental supervision is recommended for students who are not familiar with the use of the oven, stove top, knives and other kitchen equipment we will use.
If your student has any allergies and you need a recipe with substitutions, please contact me for a personalized recipe.
Supply List
The recipe that will be posted each week with the video and will contain a supply list. The supply list will list everything your student needs to have in place before class starts. For example, gathering ingredients, bowls, baking dishes, measuring cups etc. Usually these items are already in your kitchen. This is called Mise En Place and I would list this on each recipe for class.

I enjoy baking and cooking in my kitchen. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge with kids, including my own elementary school son. Baking and Cooking are one of our favorite classes to do together in our homeschool.
My second degree is in Culinary Arts and I graduated from Le Cordon Bleu Miami. Since graduation, some of my industry experience includes cooking at a Disney Resort as well as Catering for Aramark. I have also owned my own catering and cake business. I have taught cooking and baking classes to both adults and kids online and in person.
I am so excited to be able to share my knowledge and look forward to seeing your student in class!
