Welcome to Cooking and Baking

Welcome to Cooking and Baking – Summer/Fall 2017

This is my 7th year teaching Baking/Cooking Class for Kids! My recipes range from desserts to gluten-free, and healthy alternatives. I hope your child is excited and looking forward to a fun experience. Students will learn the difference between teaspoons and tablespoons. They will get to use dry and liquid measuring cups while they learn techniques like folding, kneading, stirring, mixing, zesting and so much more. The kids will be introduced to as many kitchen gadgets as possible. This is a “hands” on class and every student will get to participate in every class. 
For safety, I will be instructing and helping in the preparation of the recipes. 

***PLEASE NOTE*** The cost for this Elective is $95 for 11 weeks of classes, which is approx. $8.63 per class. Please submit payment by next week; Friday, Sept. 8th, 2017.
