Cooking with the seasons: winter

Let’s explore the wonderful world of winter produce! Each week students will explore a different fruit or vegetable. We will taste it both raw and cooked and then use it in a few recipes. Through these recipes, we will learn new skills: how to weigh and measure ingredients correctly, proper knife techniques using practice knives, how to make bread dough, jam, soup and more. Students will work together on the recipes, try all the dishes we prepare and sometimes bring home some treats to share. Each week, students will come home with copies of the recipes to share with their families and new skills to help out at meal time.

Finished projects are light, foam-like figures set on a base so they can be displayed.
