World Flavors on-Going

Learners will have the opportunity to travel the world with their senses of taste and smell. Learners will have the chance to try out new recipes and they will learn confidence in the kitchen as they add seasonings, make substitutions, troubleshoot problems when things don't come out perfect. Learners will be able to plan and budget for each meal and we will use our math skills to determine the general cost per recipe and cost per serving. 

As a young child, I was always interested in travel and culture. I took many years of French in high school and I learned to make most of my French dishes in my early teens by watching French cooking shows, exploring recipes and by testing everything in the kitchen. Growing up, I was responsible for planning and cooking meals for my family two to three times per week. When I lived in Vancouver, BC I was fortunate to have a Parisian who lived in the apartment next door. I would ask questions about French cooking and he would come up to help me perfect my already delicious crepe recipe. The biggest lessons I've learned being through cooking and making pastries is to not be afraid to try, to substitute when necessary and to remember that even if everything doesn't come out perfect, it will come out delicious!

Learners will need to prep all ingredients prior to the start of class. Each week, they will get the recipe with ingredient list so they can gather all ingredients ahead of time.

For recipes that will take longer than class time allows, learners will need to finish preparing their meal and take a picture to upload to the classroom to share with one another. Some recipes may require some preparation prior to class and those instances will be noted in the class before, and I will also update the classroom as needed.

1 hour 30 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
