Cooking Class 01/08/09

Cooking Class resumed now that the Holidays are over. The kids were excited to get back to cooking new things. For this class they made chicken legs, mashed potatoes and buttermilk biscuits. Everything was delicious.

Here they are before class modeling their aprons.

Here is a short clip of the chicken legs being seasoned. Yummy.

Cutting the potatoes for boiling. They love using their knives.

Watching the mixer cut the butter into the flour. Have you ever seen anything this spectacular?

Mixing in the buttermilk. Nothing says fun like hands full of dough.

Rolling out the dough.

Biscuits in the pan to go in the oven.

Mashing the potatoes. Butter makes everything better.

After class I asked them if they would be this enthused to help at home. The answer: No. We don't have a butcher block work station in our kitchen or a giant cast iron pan or 4 ovens.

They do help at home and they do make their own breakfast and lunch. There is something about prepping your food in a real restaurant kitchen with a professional chef that makes it so much better.
