Now Accepting Registrations

I am now accepting registrations for classes beginning the week of May 3rd.

Things are falling into place quickly. I am still moving furniture and cleaning out cupboards to make room for the Farmhouse Kitchen supplies. It is going well and I am looking forward to the classes starting!

A description of Farmhouse Kitchen

Farmhouse Kitchen is basic cooking instruction for young people aged 8 and up. Students will gain the skills necessary to help in the kitchen now and to prepare healthy food when they leave home.

In these busy times we would like to teach our children ourselves, but we don’t seem to be able to find the time. These instructions are the opportunity to learn important life skills. I would love to have the pleasure of teaching your child and watching them learn and grow.

Classes are held in my farmhouse kitchen and last an hour and a half.

Students will learn how to:
  • Properly handle food
  • Prepare simple meals
  • Follow a recipe
  • Prepare healthy food at home
  • The basics of cooking and baking
Some recipes that will be taught are:
  • Pizza (from crust to completion)
  • Soda Bread
  • Homemade Hamburgers
  • Casseroles
  • Soup - Chicken Noodle, Vegetable, Potato with Bacon, etc.
  • How to cut veggies - veggie tray with homemade dip
  • Homemade chicken fingers
  • Pasta Salad
  • Butter-tarts
  • Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Lemon Squares
  • Cupcakes and Frosting
  • Banana Bread muffins
  • Brownies
  • Strawberry Jam
  • Muffins
  • Fudge

Another step forward!

I've been busy moving furniture and buying equipment. I hope to have everything set up to start classes in April 2010.
