The instructor, Chef Alegre Ramos, believes that cooking from scratch is the most powerful way anyone can increase their health, wealth, and happiness. Not only is cooking an essential life skill, but numerous studies have shown that it decreases stress and increases creativity.

This class has five parts. During it, your child will:
1) Learn the many benefits of cooking from scratch (increased health, wealth, and creativity and decreased stress!) (10 minutes)
2) Learn how to "build" a salad, and the benefits of making one to your own taste, budget, and dietary considerations. (10 minutes)
3) Learn the single most important knife skill any cook needs and watch Chef Alegre create a salad. Her 9-year-old is often in the kitchen with her, and may be present for part of the demo, which often helps build confidence in other kids that they can do this.  (10 minutes)
4) Watch as Chef Alegre builds a salad, and follow along with their own salads if they like. (20 minutes)
5) Be able to ask Chef Alegre questions (10 minutes)

NOTE: While I've successfully taught this class where people just angle their laptop camera towards their hands, this $20 camera (or something similar) will make it easier for me to see your kiddo's cooking https://amzn.to/2XbBUFg

Chef Alegre is a new instructor on Outschool and is experimenting with the flexibility of ZOOM and Outschool to provide the same sort of "hands-on" experience she gives students in her in-person classes.
