The Owsley County EFNEP Assistant partnered with the Family and Consumer Sciences Agent and provided a cooking camp targeting children age 5-12 years. Curriculum used were Super Star Chef. Children were taught cutting skills, measuring skills, and reading recipes etc. A total of eleven children participated in the six week course. Eight out of the eleven had no skills in cooking when they began the program.
At the end of each day the students prepared a recipe using the skills acquired that day. The final day of “Cooking for the Clueless” ended with the students preparing breakfast. Six parents reported that their children had prepared a meal for the family using different recipes from the class. The children were more comfortable in the kitchen using their newly acquired skills.
