TYPE: Hands-On with some demo depending on time
SKILL LEVEL: Easy
AGE: Entering 1st or 2nd Grade this Fall
In this class geared towards first and second graders we will be exploring our taste buds with taste stations including salt, sweet, bitter, sour, and even spicy! We will also learn to follow a recipe as we cook several summer-inspired dishes. Children will then sit down to enjoy eating their creations together and/or take them home depending on time.
About Our Culinary Instructor:
Beth Christensen
Beth Christensen is the owner/founder of Happy Littles Sleep Consulting and a self-proclaimed home cook. In addition to healthy sleep habits, Beth is convinced that healthy eating habits form early in life and lead to happy and healthy children. Her current mission in life is to pass along her love of healthy wholesome home cooking to her five-year-old twin boys. She has been involving her boys in meal planning, grocery shopping, and the preparation of family dinners since the early age of 2 years old. There’s nothing like seeing the pride on their little faces when your children gobble up a meal they helped to cook! When she’s not involving her children in the kitchen Beth also loves to host dinner parties for friends and family and experience the culinary scene in Chicago. She is originally from a suburb of Boston and has an affinity for dining on any body of water as well as cooking any dishes that involve fish.
