Cooking Camp - Day 1

Paying close attention
Wow! Can’t believe how well the first day went! Master Chef Eileen and Master Chef Brandy gave the orientation wearing their new aprons and chef hats. You should have seen the looks on the kid's faces - priceless. After rules and procedures, a tour of the kitchen, and choosing their work stations, the students watched a video of Alton Brown (Food Network chef) showing cutting techniques, knife safety, and knife cleaning. Then, to put that learning to good use, each student helped to cut, slice, dice, and grate ingredients for chef salads. They took this task very seriously, and the kitchen was quiet except for the sound of knifes on cutting boards. And not one cut! All-in-all a great start!

Gold Star for Kyndall - quick and efficient prep work, clean area
Gold Star for Jack - creativity with prepping for chef’s salad
