- Cooking is such an important skill for boys and girls alike. Carroll County Extension has offered two virtual cooking classes during this pandemic. The first one was limited to twenty families. The ingredients were placed in bags for the participants to pick up. The members took the bag home, made the recipe and e-mailed pictures to us while making the recipe and the finished product. This program lasted for six weeks. The recipes were recipes that we did during the “Recipes For Life” program. Since it was such a great program, we had requests to do it again for those who did not have the opportunity to sign up the first time. The theme for the one that began in February was “Exploring the World of Cooking” so along with the food ingredients was a history of other countries focusing on different foods. We had eighteen families enrolled in this program. 100% of the participants completed the program with 70% going beyond and cooked other things during the week. Again, we have requests for more cooking classes, so we have scheduled one for the week after Spring Break which will use the Cooking 101 curriculum recipes. And will do Super Star Chef and Teen Cuisine in the summer.
