In this five-day food camp just for kids ages 10-17, you'll acquire all the cooking techniques, knife skills and ingredient preparation expertise needed to make your own complete, gourmet meals. Each day brings brand-new knowledge, fun, and a delicious lunch at the end of the session! Day 1: Homemade Soup Day: We'll learn basic knife skills, as well as sautéing, identifying greens for salad, and vinaigrettes. You'll make: greens and herbs with balsamic vinaigrette; and soups, including chicken noodle, and tomato (with grilled cheese sandwiches, of course). Day 2: Mexican Restaurant Faves. We'll learn advanced knife skills and grilling. You'll make: guacamole; grilled steak tacos; cheese enchiladas; fresh corn tortillas; and Mexican chocolate brownies. Day 3: Lunch Specials. We'll learn how to bake fresh yeast bread and bake cookies. You'll make: spicy-sweet chicken wings; grilled chicken paillard on a bed of salad; hummus and veggie sticks with fresh pita; and snickerdoodles. Day 4: The focus is on fun: Breakfast for Dinner. You’ll build on your skills by adding direct-heat griddle cooking and presentation. You'll make: pancakes and toppings; baked egg strata; rainbow fruit skewers with honey-yogurt sauce; and granola. Day 5: Mystery Basket Day! This is just like the competitions on TV. Using skills mastered in Days 1-4, you and your teammates will receive one secret ingredient that you must use in two dishes. You’ll have a mini-storeroom of ingredients to pick from to execute your two ideas. No judging; just lots of fun and creativity. What you make is up to you!
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
