Week #3 Picture of our Strawberry Shortcake

This week the kids were introduced to a microplane zester. They learned how to grate any type of citrus fruit by rotating the fruit and only grating the peel to remove the zest. They also learned what the zest adds to a recipe (the natural oils in the zest, flavors our recipe of choice). The kids also used a strawberry plucker to remove the stem out of the berries. They were taught that using an egg slicer to slice strawberries allows them to cut uniform slices while having fun.
