Youth cooking club for ages 10 to 18 to learn the basics of cooking and eat what they prepare together.
Cooking Club for Teens and Tweens is back at Queen Memorial Library on Monday, October 26, at 4:15 PM. It's open to youth ages 10 to 18, so it works for a wide range of kids—from the younger tweens just getting their feet wet to the older teens who can handle a bit more on their own.
Ms. Vera leads the session, and the whole thing is built around the basics of cooking. They start with reading recipes, move on to measuring ingredients, and then actually cook the food. It's a hands-on process rather than a demonstration, and the group eats what they make together when it's finished. If you've got a kid who's curious about the kitchen but doesn't know where to start, this is a low-pressure way to get them comfortable with the fundamentals.
One thing that's helpful to know ahead of time: the library posts the month's recipe on its Instagram account, @queenmemoriallibrary. You can check it out before the session to see what's on the menu, which is a nice touch if you want to talk through the ingredients with your kid or get a sense of what they'll be working on. It also means you'll know exactly what's coming before you walk through the door.
