Mrs. Ronda began learning to cook at age 10 and grew up growing, harvesting, and preserving food. She brings years of restaurant experience, concession work, and large‑group cooking, along with deep knowledge of cooking, baking, prep, safety, and storage. This class teaches kids the fundamentals of preparing food and using kitchen tools safely. Students will explore new ingredients, build confidence, and expand their ideas about food through fun, hands‑on experiences. Each class date introduces a new recipe to try, or a new appliance or tool to learn to use safely and effectively. Students will read and follow recipes, interpret food labels, practice safe appliance use, sample everything they make, and bring home recipes to share with their families.
