Last week I taught a kids cooking class for ages 7-10. I had forgotten how much I like this age. We made pizza with sautéed vegetables, homemade sauce and a crispy yeast dough. We also made 4 cheese Mac and Cheese, bacon cheddar burgers, chocolate chip banana bread, homemade ranch dressing, and “meatloaf cupcakes”with “mashed potato frosting”. Im so lucky to have a job I love!

Today was an amazing day in my advanced teen cooking class. I taught some… but I learned so much from my students… like how to manually sharpen a knife( I get mine professionally sharpened)… how to fold the perfect dumpling and how to make a beautiful mango rose for your sticky rice with coconut sauce.
