kitchen classroom
We know that many of you are going to be home for the foreseeable future, and are probably in search of things to do. Our recommendation? Get in the kitchen! You'll get to spend quality time with your family, learn new skills, and end up with something delicious to eat.
Every week, we’re going to give you a series of recipes, hands-on activities and experiments, and fun food quizzes to tackle in the kitchen. Think of it as a sort of kitchen curriculum, composed of recipes, activities, and quizzes, with one or two simpler recipes or activities for weekdays and a bigger project the whole family can accomplish on Saturday or Sunday. We’ll strive to include as many pantry-friendly recipes as possible, to minimize grocery runs. Feel free to make swaps and substitutions as you need to make this work for your family.
