After School Cooking Classes
Learning how to cook is a life long skill that can open up much more than just delicious flavors. Join Ian McGregor & Orion Bellorado at Farmstead’s brand new kitchen collaboration with Slow Food in the Tetons, located in the first floor of the Vertical Harvest building. We teach fundamental culinary skills including baking, sautéing, and knife techniques. Kids work together in teams of 3-4 to complete all the steps of any given recipe. We will cook a variety of kid friendly meals from around the world in each session with an emphasis on expanding food horizons for families. Class is from 3:30 to 5:00 pm every Wednesday for five weeks. Recipes from each class will be sent home with the students in case anyone wants to cook these meals at home for their families.
Students can ride the activity bus to the Center for the Arts, where we will walk as a group over to Vertical Harvest to begin the lesson of the day.
Refund Policy: Full refund is offered until one week before the first class. Available to kids aged 6-13 and includes the potential dangers of cooking (cuts, burns, etc). A release will need to be signed by the all participants before the first class begins.
Students will leave these classes with a basic knowledge of food preparation and healthy eating habits. We will cook a wide array of cuisines and utilize a range of cooking techniques to help foster a lifelong connection to the power of food in our daily lives! More experienced students will be paired with newcomers so that each team can work most effectively to complete the day’s recipe.
Specific food allergy substitutions will be made by the instructors, and some recipes will have different results based on those substitutions. Students with severe allergies should contact Ian or Orion with specifics and to determine the best course of action.
