Kitchen Lab (This class is for ANY skill level)
Thursdays, beginning Sept. 8
Ages 8+ 3:15-5:45 PM
What does the egg do? Why do I have to get all the yolk out of the whites before I whip them? Can I use something else to thicken this broth? How do you make mayonnaise? These are some of the questions we will be exploring in the kitchen this fall. If you want to make hard candy and explore why corn syrup and table sugar are needed, then this is the class for you.
Syllabus
Advanced COOKING: Pastas and Empanadas (This class is for kids very comfortable in the kitchen)
Thursdays, beginning Sept. 8
Ages 9+ 12:30-3 PM
In this advanced cooking course, you will focus on pastas (fresh and filled) as well as savory pies. You will become so fluent in whipping up a scratch crust in and become confident experimenting pairing flavors to create new and interesting flavors! As you gain more confidence, you will use your precision and creativity to utilize the abundance of produce grown in your own yard and the rest of Southwest Michigan.
Syllabus
Virtual Baking(contact instructor for more information) must begin in September
Learn the basics of baking with experience in a wide range of products over 10 sessions! In this course you will make corn bread, pizza, cinnamon rolls, brownies, apple crisp, and cakes, all from scratch! You will walk away with food and a recipe book.

Syllabus
*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
