The Migrant Education Director contacted the Senior Nutrition Education
Program Assistant in search of educational programs for Hispanic students in
middle and high school for the summer. Considering the language barrier, we
stepped up to the challenge.
The Migrant Culinary Workshop used the curriculum from Teen Cuisine to
evaluate their culinary skills with the checklist in Lesson 1. We asked the students to
complete the checklist and return it to the instructor for review.
After reviewing the checklist from seventeen students, only six had knowledge
about How to Read a Recipe, Knife Safety, Proper Measuring, Cleaning, Food Safety,
and identifying cooking equipment.
We started by reading the recipe they were preparing, explaining abbreviations,
cooking terms, and following directions in order as they appear. We had students
identify kitchen tools needed with each recipe and their purposes.
When the classes ended, sixteen out of the group understood all the tools,
abbreviations, and purposes with confidence to prep and prepare a recipe at home
for their family.
