After taking a year off from teaching, I’m pleased to once again offer cooking classes to the home school community in Charlotte, NC. I have two years experience teaching this curriculum.
Level 1 is an introductory class that any child age 8 or older can succeed in. Level 2 will build on level one. Both will cultivate practical life skills. Here is a brief outline of goals for each level.
A detailed list is coming soon.
Level 1 Goals:
- Introduction to basic kitchen safety, use and cleanliness
- Learn how to read and adapt recipes as needed (doubling, halving, basic ingredient substitutions)
- Become comfortable in the kitchen and develop the confidence to succeed
- Prepare for level 2
Level 2 Goals :
- Review kitchen safety and continue to build confidence
- Build on level 1 by increasing the difficulty and variety of dishes
- Challenge students to create their own menu by the end of the course and execute all phases of that meal
