Teaching Students to Cook
For teachers, whether through homeschooling, remote teaching, or in-class teaching, we have a few tips to help get the students started:
- Review with your student the cooking task first.
- Walk through the recipe, discuss what equipment is needed, and safe practices.
- Give them the space they need to try following the recipe on their own. If they start to struggle, step in to help.
You know your student best so when choosing a recipe for them to make, take into account their age and ability.
