Spring: All American Diner

Description: We’ve assembled some of our favorite recipes to create the ultimate All-American Diner Challenge!  Each week students will learn how to make the daily special—with a twist! They will be challenged to use a “secret ingredient” to keep the menu fresh and not let any food go to waste. Our Tiny Chefs will also be challenged to use their imaginations and new-found culinary knowledge to plan their own restaurants. If your Tiny Chef loves Top Chef and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, this is the class for them!

Important skills students will learn throughout the semester:

·         Kitchen safety

·         How to read a recipe

·         Responsibility for kitchen clean up

·         Knife skills

·         How to use measuring tools

·         How to use kitchen equipment

· Problem-solving

·         Following directions

·         Time management

·         Confidence

·         Creativity

·         Listening and comprehension

What you and your child can expect:

The class will start with a brief introduction of the instructor and what the recipe will be, followed by an overview of what steps they will be taking to complete the recipe (there is always a fun fact included related to the theme of the recipe 👀).

Your Tiny Chefs instructor will then take a couple of minutes to wash their hands and get their aprons on! The instructor will make sure that everyone has enough time to complete each step before moving on to the next. Tiny Chefs are encouraged to ask questions during class. After we are done cooking everyone has a chance to taste their creation and discuss what they like or dislike about it, or to show off their creation! 

Dates: 4/17, 4/24, 5/1, 5/8, 5/15, 5/22, 5/29, 6/5
