The Art of Cooking- Learning the Basics: Saturday Afternoon Cooking with Siobhan

Activity Name: The Art of Cooking -Covering the Basics

Age Range: 1-18 years

Activity Description: Our Art of Cooking - Covering the Basic classes are designed to teach the fundamentals of cooking, food prep, and meal planning. Overseen by our Certified Life and Health Coach Siobhan Alban and Our Beyond the Spectrum Program Founder Rebecca Whitman, we walk students through the journey of gaining independence while learning the Art of Cooking.

We approach this class as if we are teaching a life skill and it is a part of our Art of Life Program. This skill set will follow the student for his or her entire life. We are very deliberate in our approach to teaching. We foster independence and teach the students the fundamental skill of caring for themselves. This class encourages self-confidence and positive self-care, teaches healthy choice-making and builds skills that work toward independence and a successful future.

We use tools that are safe and easy to use and meals that are easy to create at home in a safe way. The basics class uses tools such as electric skillets, electric griddles, crock pots, and air friers. This allows the student to learn how to prepare food without the dangers that may happen for beginners. Our goal is that the student will be able to manage this task independently and without parental or adult supervision.

Registration is required at least 7 days in advance of each class to allow us to order fresh ingredients and to ensure each student has access to all needed supplies.

Each class is 1.5 hours long.

The cost of the class is $65 per session. Due to the limited class size, we are not able to offer member discounts at this time. Payment in full is due at the time of booking.

Class fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable.

Note for students who require direct billing with a funding organization: If you do not attend a class you are registered for, you or your parent will be responsible for paying the class fee as per our Direct-Billing Policy. Thank you for understanding.
