回歸基本：瑪麗廚師的初級烹飪課程（10-12 歲）

In this 4 week course, we meet once a week to work on beginner cooking skills, in the 4 weeks we will cover knife skills, how to cook eggs, how to boil water and tell when pasta is finished, how to season and cook meat, and  We will discuss many different cooking techniques such as sautéing, boiling, baking, blanching, and pan-frying. At the beginning of each class we will start with a short introduction of all learners, we will review ingredients and materials needed for the day, and will dive into the recipes. Each of the classes will be full of a lot of instructional teaching and demonstration by me, I will be actively showing and doing all steps so your learners get a good grasp on the techniques and methods. I fully expect to answer questions as we go through class. There may be time at the end of class to try our dishes and to give reactions and feedback to each other. This will be a beginner class so no previous experience is expected, a basic knowledge of kitchen utensils is helpful, but will be covered in class, as well. In this class we will be handling sharp knives, hot pans, using stove tops, microwaves, and ovens, and a few small appliances. Many recipes in this series will be able to easily adapt to allergies or food preferences if needed. Please message me with any questions. Depending on the speed and skillset of the learners in the class some classes may go over or under by about 10 minutes.
