Let's Get Cooking!

Funded Mar 5, 2019

My students were so excited when we received the large box of new kitchen equipment for our school kitchen! The kids started brainstorming different things we could make with the new equipment. They had many ideas and were eager to try to them all!

They decided that the first thing they wanted to try to make were smoothies, using the new blender! We searched though recipes to find the perfect recipe they wanted to try. We then made a shopping list of the ingredients we would need for our recipe. The students enjoying practicing their cooking skills washing, cutting, and blending the ingredients all while following the recipe to make their smoothies using the new blender.

Although this may seem like an easy task, this was not easy for many of my students that are still learning these life skills. We have students with various skill levels with working in a kitchen, so the new equipment will allow many different opportunities for students with basic to even more advanced skills in the kitchen. Our students will continue to learn how to use the new equipment with new recipes and practice new skills in the kitchen! Next up is an end of year breakfast buffet!”
