Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 9
Planning and preparing a healthy meal for the family is often something we don't learn until we have families of our own.  But why?  Kids who are involved in meal preparation tend to be more open to trying new foods and eat better, healthier meals throughout their lives.

In this class, we will cook dinner together to serve to a family of 4-6 (or we will talk about multiplying recipes for larger families).  We will use a variety of different foods and spices in each meal so that kids and their families can try possibly new-to-them foods. We will be sure to talk about covering basic nutritional needs with each meal.

*Students with special dietary restrictions must contact me prior to class begins so we can make the necessary recipe adjustments.

Kids will be using a variety of cooking tools including the stove top and oven, measuring cups and spoons, knives, etc.  I will provide a grocery list 1 week before class begins.  All ingredients should be easily found at your local grocery store.  Basic cooking tools will be needed (i.e. measuring cups/spoons, pots, pans, etc.)

Students must have all the ingredients for the meal for the week. No prep work required. We will do all of the prep in class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from North Carolina State University
About 23 years ago I discovered a real love of cooking.  While I nursed my first new baby I obsessively watched cooking shows, scoured cookbooks, and joined my grandmother and father (both brilliant cooks) in the kitchen.  Since I started cooking, I have had 3 more kids and continued my journey exploring new recipes and cooking.  Now all of my kids love cooking and trying new foods.  We cook regularly together and even my 5 year old makes dinner once a week (with help of course.)
