Handouts

  • The instructor believes, through years of experience, that some of the best learning happens with “doing” instead of reading along. It helps to build peoples’ confidence in the kitchen knowing they have created something unique and delicious all on their own. They then can use the recipes provided as a guide. This way of teaching also allows for a greater focus on the task at hand.
