Culinary skills and Nutrition Class

Service Description

Cooking is a basic and important life skill. It offers multiple advantages such as increased reading comprehension, following step-by-step instructions, as well as teaches math concepts from fractions to temperatures, to geometry. Learning how to cook also teaches students where their food is coming from and it can boost their confidence levels and expand their palates. Children that learn how to cook will also learn patience and gain a greater sense of appreciation for their parents cooking. Furthermore, teaching a child to prepare their own healthy meals and snacks can prepare them for a healthier lifestyle as adults. This class will focus on teaching students how to prepare whole food snacks and meals that they can share with their friends and family. We will pay attention to learning the skills necessary to work safely in a kitchen and concentrate on following instructions to reach our desired results. We’ll emphasize the importance of eating plant-based foods, discuss where ingredients come from and their nutritional value. Students will learn about the different types of fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutritional contents found in our foods. We’ll also examine foods that can improve our gut health which can lead to better nutrient absorption, support for our immune systems, and reduced inflammation. Our goal is to help students gain a greater understanding of how to support their bodies for optimal health and wellness for a lifetime.
