The Jessamine County Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agent offered a two day virtual 4-H Foods Class in conjunction with Jessamine County 4-H’s Virtual Camp. Participants picked up to-go bags from the Jessamine County Extension with recipe ingredients, SNAP-ED cooking utensils, UK Wally Cat handwashing poster, and Zoom Link to class. The FCS Agent demonstrated proper handwashing, how to read a recipe and lead participants in a virtual cook-a-long. The initial outcomes were participants learn new kitchen skills, learn how to read a recipe, and learn proper handwashing techniques. An evaluation was given immediately following the completion of the final class. Here are findings from the evaluation:

67% of participants could correctly identify how long to wash hands

78% of participants identified the correct components of a roux

50% of participants identified the right activators of yeast

All participants indicated they planned on making the recipes again at home.
