Cooking
with Kids Series
with
Denis Chiappa
The goal of this four part series of hands-on classes
is to teach kids fundamental techniques needed to prepare
a variety of basic meals. Along the way we stress kitchen
safety and the proper use of and care of cooking tools.
Each class will begin with instruction on the recipes
being prepared included understanding the ingredients,
measurements and procedure. Participants then prepare
the items listed in each class with the guidance and
supervision of instructors. The menus are designed to
stress fresh ingredients and kid-friendly flavors. As
the class progress the kids get to eat the dishes they
prepared and ask questions. Ages 10 to
12.
Part
1 - Soups
In our first session we stress an important component
of a healthy diet - vegetables. We'll teach the kids
how to clean, prepare and cook vegetables and turn it
into tasty soup. Italian Vegetable Soup;
Chicken Corn Chowder.
Part
2 - Fish
The
task of getting kids to enjoy eating fish is made easier
when they are involved in the preparation of the recipe.
We'll focus on fish and seafood that they are most likely
to enjoy and prepare it with ingredients that suit their
taste.
Part 3 - Beef and Chicken
This
class focuses on techniques that take advantage of the
versatility of chicken, beef and pork. After this class,
your junior chef will be cooking you fabulous dinners
in no time. In addition to learning how to saute, the
kids will make mouth-watering pot pies.
Part 4 - Desserts
In
this session the kids dig into sweet treats like crisps
and cakes. We'll teach the importance of accurate measurements
and following a recipe. They'll learn the buiding blocks
of classic desserts and satisfy their sweet tooth in
the process.
