Cooking is a valuable life skill that teaches children about nutrition and food safety, as well as building math, science, literacy and fine motor skills. Twenty youth gathered in the kitchen for a day of learning. Youth explored the pastry world by working in groups to bake tasty treats. Participants learned important kitchen safety, how to avoid spreading germs while cooking, how to use the oven properly and safely when baking, and how to accurately measure liquid and dry ingredients. In addition, youth worked in groups to learn how to read a recipe, break an egg, cut fat into flower, and how to prepare a pan for baking. This popular program taught youth confidence in baking sweet treats to be shared with family members. Baking is a great way to spend time with friends and family. It is also a way to teach kids vital skills, such as critical thinking, creativity and collaboration.
