Increase your confidence in the kitchen with our Joy of Cooking: Cooking Skills for Independent Living class!
Whether independent living is a short term goal and you’re planning to move out soon, or it’s a long-term goal for some time in the future – you can begin preparing for it now–starting in the kitchen!
This hands-on session is a great way to help you sharpen your skills.
While preparing a tasty menu, participants will also learn about:
- the importance of good hygiene
- cleanliness in the kitchen and the importance of preventing cross-contamination
- the proper use of utensils
- how to properly measure and prepare food, and
- working with others.
And then, you’ll get to enjoy what you’ve made!
The menu for this session is Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers and Carrot Fries.
