Cooking HS: Beyond Ramen Noodles FY
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Beyond Ramen Noodles is a hands-on cooking class aimed at arming students with the ability to prepare meals to feed themselves beyond pre-packaged convenience foods like Ramen Noodles. We will discuss health, nutrition, making balanced choices, and healthier substitutions. Specific content and focus will depend on the skill level and preferences of those in the class. We will prepare main courses, sandwiches, sauces, sides, salads, and desserts. We are limited by those foods which can be prepared within a class period. Some advance preparation may be necessary.
NOTE: Teacher must be notified of any and all dietary restrictions, ingredient sensitivities, and/or allergies in advance, so that accommodations may be made where possible.
COST: $60/year. Class limit: 10
TEACHER PROVIDES: recipes, ingredients, equipment, instruction, and guidance.
STUDENT PROVIDES: Students will also need to bring ingredients and some cooking supplies such as mixing bowls, knives, cutting board, etc. Different weeks will require different contributions from teacher and students. Sometimes students will make their own individual meals, and sometimes the group will collaborate and make a common dish, each contributing ingredients and prep.
COURSE EXPECTATIONS: Students will learn to be more independent and confident in the kitchen, preparing their own basic meals. Participation is key to success of the class. If each student does not do his or her part on a group meal then everyone fails. And we all starve. Starving is bad. Every component is crucial. If your student will be absent, the teacher must be notified in order to make arrangements to cover that student's contribution.
PREREQUISITES: Students need to have a desire for learning and a willingness to participate and try new things outside their comfort zone. This is a hands on class, not a lecture. All students will be welcomed regardless of previous experience. Students will be expected to contribute to the setup and cleanup efforts necessary to keep the facility in good condition.
WORKLOAD/GRADES: Minimal work outside of class, such as prepping ingredients. No more than an hour per week. Grades will not be assigned, but a positive attitude and active class participation is expected every week.
