Class Description: During the summer of 2009, campers will partake in a 4-day long hands-on culinary journey through a variety of exciting cooking classes. Chef Joe Randall’s Cooking School offers a wonderful opportunity to polish manners, learn table etiquette and safe food handling while learning how to cook and create meals.  The summer cooking camp is fun and a great way to meet others with a passion for cooking.  Each day, campers will prepare the lunch they will eat.  Classes are hands-on/demonstration; everyone will participate in making various aspects of their meal.  They will report for duty each day to advance their kitchen skills. Students begin with basic kitchen safety, food prep, knife skills, cooking methods and will work through the development of a full-course menu each day.

In addition to general cooking techniques, the campers will be instructed on safe food handling, equipment safety and table etiquette.  Campers will learn how to read a recipe, prepare and cook delicious meals.  All campers will take home a copy of the recipes used.  Please make sure that your child has eaten a light breakfast before arriving to camp.
