This kitchen basics cooking class is designed for all ages and abilities. 

We demonstrate, guide and coach independence. The lessons focus on small motor control, dexterity, and basic kitchen skills including spreading, peeling, measuring ingredients, pouring skills, washing and tearing salad, working with dough, knife skills and stovetop safety, following a recipe, cracking and cooking eggs, slicing and dicing vegetables, sautéing vegetables, basic nutrition, and lot’s more!

 

This is the intermediate ‘Kids Cook Real Food’ Course by Katie Kimball of Kitchen Stewardship. Due to our limited cooking equipment, some recipes will focus on kitchen prep and the recipe can be cooked at home.

 

Enjoy this FREE, online Knife Skills Class from Katie.

You get 3 videos, PDF downloads and more, to help you start teaching your kids to cook. Check out this FREE, online class that costs nothing to attend, through Wed. Jan. 18th only!

 

 

 

Lessons:

Each Lesson includes a video that all age and abilities can watch together. This focuses on a skill that everyone can learn and integrates with the day’s lesson. There is a demonstration of the skills, and hands-on practice, and a dish made. You will also receive videos, and these PDF printouts and downloads:

 

    1.    Adult Guide, three videos to help you teach your kids to cook and a PDF for each video – goal setting, fun phrase reminders, worksheets and memory tools. 

    2.    The day’s plan, supplies needed at a glance, extensions to practice the skill plus adaptations for allergies and more.

    3.    Printable memory tools to help the kids remember the important key phrases in each lesson. There are 1-4 “Flash Cards” for each lesson plus a “Daily Nugget” card with the factoid nutrition lesson for the day.

    4.    *Download: A 50-page recipe eBook in kid-friendly language and font size for all the recipes demonstrated in the videos and in the lesson plans.

 

 

Allergies, Preferences  and Sensitivities:
The course is very allergy-friendly and provides many substitutions for special diets! This course focuses is on the skills, not the recipes. If someone in your family doesn’t eat an ingredient we use in the demonstrated recipe, it’s easy to swap it out for another recipe and still practice the same cooking skill. There is a section of every lesson with ideas for allergies and substitutions of many kinds. 

 

Our recipes will be tree nut and sesame seed free. Recipes can be modified to accommodate other food allergies. Please let us know at least one week prior to the first day of class.

*Parents please remain for participants with special requirements or severe allergies.

 

    •    Nuts: There are no nuts in the class recipes.
    •    Gluten: All the recipes except two are already gluten-free, and both of those have GF alternative recipes.
    •    Dairy: Many skills fit a dairy-free diet, and the few that don’t are fairly easy to adapt. Suggestions provided in the lesson plans.
    •    Grain-free/Paleo: One skill does not fit a Paleo diet: cooking rice. Adaptations are included to switch up the lesson completely. 
    •    Eggs: Eggs are in about two lessons. There’s just no substitute for eggs when the skill is “cracking eggs” or “cooking eggs.” 
    •    Sugar: There is very little sweetener of any kind in the course, and you can use natural sweeteners like sucanat or honey or substitute your own recipes for muffins if you like.
    •    Vegan: Two skills (eggs and ground meat) would need replacements; suggestions provided in the materials.
