I have had a lot of positive feedback and it will be a lot of fun. Read all about it here!
This class consists of 4 mornings from 8:30 – noon, Monday to Thursday. There will be a maximum of 6 children in the class. The first day will be totally planned by myself but in this first day we will, as a group, plan the ‘menu’ for the remaining three days. The children will have input into what kinds of things they would like to cook.
My idea is that we will make a nutritious breakfast when they arrive and then work on a fun and interesting yet nutritious lunch. I have a degree in home economics and education, have my Food Safe certificate and love cooking. My goal is to have as many people making good food at home with local ingredients, as possible.
In addition to learning some new cooking skills, I will teach the children how to properly set a table and will touch on table etiquette, food safety, and nutrition.
I have a brand new kitchen with wonderful appliances. The children will be expected to do clean-up but the bulk of the dishes will be put in the dishwasher. As with any cooking class, it is mainly about the food and food preparation. For children ages 8 - 12 years.
Dates for the classes: July 25 – 28 and August 8 – 11
Cost: $140 per child each session
Optional add on: $20 + cost of fruit for a field trip to a U-Pick on the following Saturday or Sunday to pick fruits in season. No need to sign up in advance for this. It can be a last minute decision. We will probably go to Treasure Valley Farms near Cadillac.
How great! Have a fantastic time.

If my daughter were still young I would love to send her off to cooking camp for a few days! This does sound like so much fun and I know the kids will enjoy having a say in what they are cooking. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun and a learning experience for you and the kid's. Children are like sponges,they soak up everything. I know you are going to love this! Blessings jane
ReplyDeleteThere's a thing in the NYT today about what they are eating in the schools these days and how they are changing their attitudes and loving salad bars.
ReplyDeleteI bet you will turn a few attitudes with your classes and have fun doing it... great news, Sarah.
This is a brilliant idea. I hope you have plenty of takers, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great plan! I'm looking forward to hearing about the classes once they start.
ReplyDeleteA marvelous idea...and in your new kitchen it will be such fun for everyone! You'll be great, Sarah, and the kids will benefit from your experience and love of cooking!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! Have a wonderful time Sarah!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea. I could imagine my daughter really enjoying that when she was younger (not so much now that she is a teen).
ReplyDeleteA great step, good on you.
