How to Boil Water – Cooking Class

This class is designed for residents that have never had to do much cooking in their lives before Beatitudes.  If you have been cooking for a family most of your life, this class is NOT for you.  Since there are actual meal and ingredient costs, there is a $40 fee that will cover all ingredients for the entire course.  All meals prepared can be sent home with the student.

Class One – Boiling Water

We will cover many of the standards that are needed to cook, such as measurements, temperature, knife skills, and other basic concepts.

Class Two – Eggs

We will hard boil eggs, poach an egg, fryy an egg, and scramble an egg.  We’ll also create deviled eggs, egg salad sandwich, a basic omelet, mcMffin and a burrito.   Material cost for this class only = $5

Class Three – Chicken

We will start with a pre-cooked chicken and discuss how it got here, as we talk about broth.  After that, we will shred the chicken down to the bone and talk about stock.  We will use the shredded meat to create a burrito, chicken salad and a simple Chicken Enchilada Casserole.     Material cost for this class only = $10

Class Four – Breakfasts

We’ll cover the popular things normally served for breakfast:  French Toast, Pancakes, Crepes, Bacon, Sausage, Cream of Wheat, Toast and Bagels, Drop Biscuits, Banana Bread and Oatmeal.     Material cost for this class only = $10

Class Five – Pasta

We’ll make spaghetti and macaroni, and marinara sauce from scratch.  Since we have the macaroni, we’ll put together a mac and cheese recipe.  We’ll talk about cooking lasagna noodles for lasagna.     Material cost for this class only = $5
