I started doing these classes for several reasons, not the least of which are that I love kids and I love cooking. But I also wanted to get kids excited about cooking, so they would learn to value good food and understand the benefits of good nutrition. I get really excited when one of my students tells me that he or she went home and cooked one of our recipes at home. Giuliana went home and made Egg Drop Soup two weeks ago and cousins Kristen and Brendon cooked dinner for their family. Henry was so excited about the almond crusted chicken fingers we made that he went home that same night and made them for dinner.
You can imagine, then, what a thrill it was when Sarah,
who has been with me since the beginning of this adventure at Highfield, came in this morning and told me that she entered the Cranberry Orange Scones we made in class in the Barnstable County Fair and WON FIRST PLACE! Way to go Sarah!!! (She also won a First Place prize with her banana bread!)
YAY!
Congratulations Sarah!!!
