Outcome: Initial Outcome
Utilizing the 4-H Food Curriculum "4-H Cooking 101" lessons, a series of cooking lessons for a new audience was planned and implemented at the Campbell County Extension Office. The American Heritage Girls program requested 2 cooking lessons focusing on French and Asian cooking for a group of 18 participants, age 12-15 years old. The leader worked with the 4-H agent to give input on the group. The 4-H agent developed a 3 hour program for each type of cuisine. The youth arrived to the extension office after school and worked in groups of 2-4 to cook 7 different recipes. Three adult volunteers assisted the groups each time. After the dishes were completed the youth got to sample each recipe. The 4-H agent and the leader then discussed that country's culture of food and family meal time as well as other resources available to continue enjoying the foods at their respective homes. The French recipes included macarons, creme brulee, french bread, and croque monsieur. Asian night recipes included chicken stir fry, crab rangoon, spring rolls, and cassava cake. Each participant received a packet of the recipes.
