Students in grades 4–8 are invited to Meet Me in the Kitchen, an after-school cooking club at South Cumberland Library. In this hands-on series, participants will learn to prepare new, approachable recipes inspired by foods and culinary traditions from around the world.Students will practice practical kitchen skills such as measuring, mixing, safe food handling, and simple food preparation. The program also introduces healthy food choices, nutrition concepts, and cooking tips that participants can use at home.
To help students build confidence and become familiar with each dish, every recipe will be prepared during two consecutive sessions. Repeating recipes gives participants more than one opportunity to practice techniques, try ingredients again, and strengthen the skills needed to make the recipe independently.
This youth cooking program aligns with University of Maryland Extension nutrition education approaches that emphasize hands-on food preparation, food safety, healthy choices, and building the skills to select and prepare nutritious foods. UMD Extension youth programs serve students in after-school settings and use evidence-based nutrition and healthy-lifestyle education.
