Let the Cooking Class Begin.....
Doesn't this dish look well put together and yummy?
Currently, I am Mentoring four 5th graders in cooking and baking basics for the Mentor Program at the Elementary School. This past Wednesday was their first 1 1/2 hour session after school. We accomplished alot in such a small amount of time, considering the girls had never boiled water before. A couple of the girls had done a very small amount of baking, so at least they knew how to measure.




They started out with a basic chicken breast which they pounded and breaded then baked. While that was going, I had half the group start to chop up the ingredients for the red sauce. While they were simmering and baking, we started on a garlic, cheesy bread. And then cut and sauteed the Zucchini. No one had ever tried Zucchini cooked this way and all LOVED it!
It is great when you can persuade a child to taste something and then they say "WOW! I really like it!"

Yummy!
The girls really had a great time learning and planning new things. They will be presenting their projects next month during a Open House at the school. I'll show you more photos, and these recipes as the weeks go by.
