For the last 8 years my wife and I have had the privilege of being the instructors for the Fallbrook 4H Advanced Cooking Class. This year we will have 11 students. We meet once a month for 4 1/2 hours. Our classes teach food safety - kitchen sanitation - knife skills and most importantly how to use a recipe as a guide. With each class the kids go thru the recipes and determine the cooking order based on rest time, chill time etc. We go thru each recipe and talk about how we could change it so they have an idea how to make it their own dish. They do all the cooking, we are there to guide them and keep them safe. We had 3 kids miss this class and one was getting over a cold so she is wearing gloves
Here is the food line up for the first class
Bruschetta
Grilled Zucchini and Prosciutto Skewers
Fresh Pasta Dough cut into Fettuccine
Lemon Pepper Fettuccine
Orecchiette with roasted fennel and sausage
Whoppie Pumpkin Pies
Making the fresh pasta - learning to knead the dough
Someone's dough was a little sticky
This was the only shot of their had cut pasta - were giving a zesting lesson here
Here we are going thru a salt tasting - I had them taste 6 types of salt including some hickory smoked
and some vanilla and truffle salt
Here are the Whoopie Pie cookies coming out of the oven
Giving a knife lesson
Rolling up some basil for a chiffonade lesson
We do a group photo of each dish for their record books
They get to taste each dish after the presentation pics are taken. They also get to take
some home for their family to taste. I think they like this one
Here is the Bruschetta
The Orecchiette with roasted fennel and sausage
The Fettuccine
The Skewers
The Whoopie Pies
This is a great bunch of kids. The all do dishes between recipes and the house is clean when
they leave. We love doing this class and they seem to have fun too
Thanks for looking
