Let's make dinner together! Each week we will create a lovely meal for our family focusing on flavors from all over the world. Each week will be a new adventure to a new country. Each recipe will include a main dish with a side and an occasional dessert. Class will take place for 2 hours, but please note, that cooking times and preparing times may vary slightly. Each week, the next week's recipe will be posted in the classroom. Please note, that we will be using knives to chop vegetables and meats and we will use recipes with possible allergens; however, for most recipes, we can use substitutions for potential allergens. Learners need to be familiar with using their kitchen. We will also be using the stove and the oven so learners must be independent and able to cook basic dishes. See below for the dishes that we will be preparing.

I will post the recipes prior to week 1 so you will have the opportunity to ensure that all ingredients can be found ahead of time and so you can find substitutions as needed.
Learning Goals
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.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of North Texas
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!
