Summer class for teens!

I have just added the dates, times and meals for the summer class. It will be a fast paced ride geared to take your teen from so so in the kitchen to confident and competent. Call now to grab a space–704-302-6384. Classes start June 22 at 10am–noon. We will meet Tuesday and Thursday through July 29th for a total of 14 sessions. The cost is $20 a class ($280), with half ($140) being due up front. Please talk to me about summer vacations you may have scheduled so we can deduct that from your total cost.

There is also 2 spots left for the level 1 home school class that starts on Wednesday, May 19th at 10am. This class is $15 a class.

Spring and Summer Classes–Sign up now!

Whoo! Life is finally settling down to a manageable level again. I have to admit that I’ve missed cooking class, and I am ready to get started again. Classes will start up the first full week in May, right after I finish running  my 3rd half marathon. I hope I can still walk! Head over to the Level pages and give me a call. Level 1 and Level 3 classes are open for registration.

Level 3 Classes

I finally planned them out and will post them by Monday. Thanks for being so patient!

New Session

It is time to start enrolling for the winter session of cooking classes. There are two days of level 1 and one day for level 3. These are 12 week classes taking us from the second week of January through the end of March.

The big change this year is that I am now asking you to pay for half of the session up front and the rest by week six of the session.

Thank you to every one who made last year so enjoyable! I’m looking forward to continuing to work with some of you and to meet new faces who are eager to learn their way around the kitchen.

Second Block Registration Now Open!

I am now beginning registration for the Level 1 Homeschool cooking class that will be on Wednesdays, starting at the end of October as well as the Level 2 Homeschool cooking class for Tuesday and Thursday. Please see their respective pages for details.

Also, call now to reserve a spot for the Saturday October 10th Adult Bread Class! We will be making biscuits from scratch, home made wheat bread, french bread and pizza dough in this 2 hour demonstration style class. There will be some hands on experience and of course lots of tasting!

First Week has been great!

We have now finished our first week of class–Photos coming soon. I was so excited to get started that I crammed class 1 and 2 together into the first lesson. What was I thinking? Well, I was just talking about all of the basics and it just happened. We only went 20 minutes over the time, and I don’t think anyone minded. Now we will get to just cook, cook, cook!

I think the students really enjoyed their homemade waffles. Everyone did a great job separating eggs. They didn’t even have to crack all of them before they experienced success. With a little more practice it will be perfect every time.

I did learn something very important from the first session that improved my teaching for the second session. I’m not just teaching cooking, I have to be prepared to teach the necessary math (fractions) as well. I spent Wednesday preparing some visuals for the second session. I will go over fractions again with the first session next week so that it makes more sense to them.

All in all…I’m loving this experience! I hope my students love it too.
