"My favorite memory of cooking club was when we did an open kitchen with eggs! Sophia made her fluffy egg sandwich and Rosa made French toast! It was so fun!! We all did research on what we wanted to make the following open kitchen and it was a delightful time :)" -- Ms. Ketelsen

"My favorite memory was when we all made omelets in different styles and since I skipped lunch I was intent on making a big omelet in a flat griddle. I succeeded but mine wasn't going to be flipped like the students it was going to be folded two times. Rosa said: that's how Julia Child makes omelets. aaaaaand my heart melted. Yes she does!!!!
Marely is my quiet student in my history class in a sea of loud needy kids that I barely have time to check in on. So it has been so much fun spending time with both of these young ladies and getting to know them." -- Ms. Nava

Cooking at home gives us: Life Skills, "before we go to college," "independence," time with family, practice to "learn to get along" with co-chefs, and treat our helpers with respect. It can also be practice in English as a second language, following directions, and making creativity part of our daily lives.
