Hey fellow teachers! 👩🍳👨🍳
I wanted to give you a little peek into what’s been happening in my kitchen classroom. It’s been a whirlwind of flour, knives, and a lot of delicious smells lately! Let me fill you in on our culinary journey so far:
🔒 Safety First!
Before my students get their hands on all the fun kitchen tools, we always start with kitchen safety. We go over everything—how to handle equipment, avoid accidents, and make sure our kitchen stays a safe (and happy!) place. Safety first, always! ✅
🔪 Knife Skills with Potatoes & Carrots
Once everyone’s comfortable with the basics, we move on to knife skills. And what better way to practice than with some trusty potatoes and carrots? 🥔🥕 My students have been mastering their cuts, slices, and dices, learning the importance of precision and consistency in the kitchen.
🍞 Quickbreads: Cookies & Muffins Galore!
After knife skills, we jumped headfirst into quickbreads. First up: cookies! 🍪 We spent a whole week experimenting with different types—chewy, crispy, chocolatey—you name it. After that, it was muffin time! 🧁 We worked on perfecting our muffin game with a variety of flavors and textures.
The Big Question: “When Do We Cook REAL Food?!”
At this point, my students started getting curious (and a little impatient!). They asked, “When are we going to cook real food?” 😅 While I assured them that cookies and muffins definitely count as real food in my book, I understand their excitement to get into heartier dishes.
🍝 What’s Next? Pasta & Sauces!
The wait is almost over! Next up, we’ll be diving into our pasta and sauces unit! 🍝 Get ready for some fresh, homemade pasta and a variety of delicious sauces to pair with it. It’s going to be a savory and satisfying adventure!
But don’t worry—we’re not done with baking just yet! After pasta, we’ll circle back to finish up lessons on scones, pies 🥧, and yeast breads 🍞. There’s so much more to bake and learn!
