| Frequency | 1 Day per Week |
| Costs | $55/Month; $50 supply fee/semester |
| Supplies | The supply fee will be used to buy each student their own apron, mixing bowl, spatula, knife, whisk, etc. that they may keep at the end of the year. Also included with the fee will be staples for cooking.
These include basic spices, butter, oil, sugar, flour, etc. |
| Description | During this course we will learn different types of cooking and baking skills, gain a basic understanding of common kitchen tools and equipment, and learn how to plan and prepare meals.
Over the course of the year I plan to include canning jam and pie fillings, preparing freezer meals for the crockpot, baking breads, making and decorating cakes, candy making, preparing fresh food meals, Italian cooking, using puff pastries, southern cooking, preparing appetizers, making soups, and creating food arrangements.
For most classes a finished dish will be brought for the students to see a finished product before I teach them how to prepare it. Then they will prepare the dish at home. Students
will be assigned some ingredients to bring to each class. They will use these ingredients to make the dish at home. For some projects, like jam making, we will be preparing the recipe in class.
At the end of the year, we will be having a kitchen challenge! The students will be divided into teams and they will compete to make the best dish. Then each dish will be judged and a prize awarded. We plan to do a Facebook Live video on our Arete page so that you may observe the action as it happens. |
