Success StoryAdult Outdoor Cooking



Adult Outdoor Cooking

Author: Patrick Allen

Planning Unit: 4-H Central Operations

Major Program: Natural Resources 4-H Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: Basic Life Skills for Youth and Adults in Scott County

Outcome: Initial Outcome

While collaborating with Whitney Hilterbran (Scott County FCS Agent) we set out to bring an outdoor cooking class to a new audience. I have taught several outdoor cooking classes to 4-H youth and various youth conferences and events. Whitney came to me and asked if we could work together to teach that same material to an adult audience. I thought it sounded like a great way to collaborate and share information. The class took place at the Scott County Extension office on October 10th in the evening. Whitney and I split up the teaching responsibilities. Myself teaching the safety and equipment component, and Whitney teaching different recipes that were perfect for the outdoors. Information given to the audience ranged from different methods to cook outdoors, grill selection, safety, accessories for equipment, and then different recipes that the group could take home. An evaluation was given and the results showed that all 18 participants left with a better understanding of cooking in the outdoors, that they would use one or more of the recipes taught, and that they were satisfied with the class materials and content. Whitney and I plan to teach this lesson again in the spring. Based on the data collected from the first class, we have determined that the content was relevant but could improve the schedule for the evening and location.
