We will learn how to make delicious meals and snacks with simple ingredients. There may be a week or two where the kids are asked to make something at home and bring it in for class (e.g. a dozen cupcakes so I can teach them how to decorate with frosting tips, candies, sprinkles, and fruit). We will have a taste-testing class where the kids try a variety of fruits and vegetables, learn how to make dips to go with them and learn how to make simple breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and appetizers. We will also incorporate some math into the class as we learn how to measure ingredients.
