Before Thanksgiving we were talking about community workers and how we are so thankful for them. During that unit we learned all about chefs. The kids loved this job! When our question of the day was, "what do you want to be when you grow up?", everyone picked a chef! Ms. Carol's daughter Amy is in school studying the culinary arts! She is on a competition team and attends school in Joliet. We were lucky enough to have her come in and do a couple demonstrations for us!
Here are some pictures of all the fun!
The kids loved seeing Chef Amy in her uniform!
On her first visit, Chef Amy showed us all how to make omelets! She also talked about kitchen safety!
Here she demonstrated how to cut the vegetables and how to do it safely!
The kids got to chose what ingredients they wanted in their omelet!
Everyone LOVED the delicious omelets!!!
Then on December 3rd, Chef Amy came back for another demonstration! She made homemade mayonnaise and fresh salads!
This visit, Chef Amy brought her sous chef and twin sister Kayla!
Chef Amy is going over the directions and the science behind mayonnaise!
Thank you Chef Amy for your great demonstrations and expertise in room 24!
How cool! It's great that kids are being exposed to the art of cooking on a grass roots level. There's so much garbage being paraded as food and that's great for the future health of the nation.
