1) Bread Making 101: Learning How to Make Homemade Dinner Rolls
The art of making bread at home does not have to be as mystifying as it seems. With the growing interest in eating healthier foods for the family, many novice AND seasoned homemakers want to try their hand at bread making. This class will provide the participants to see firsthand each step of the process. Our presenter will answer all the questions about the ingredients, the process, and the techniques as she demonstrates making one of the most gratifying recipes: dinner rolls. Her baking tips and shortcuts, born of her expertise (she was a professional baker for several years) and her experience of baking for her own family will be particularly helpful to the attendees. Participants will receive the recipe and the skillset to go into their own kitchens with confidence to provide the gift of freshly baked bread for the family.
2) Soup Making: Preparing Basic Soups
The presenter will teach another gratifying skill in the kitchen: the art of making soup. Beginning with learning how to make soup stock from scratch, the participants will watch how easy it is to make homemade stock (the base of many soup recipes), but will learn that in a pinch there are delicious and nutritious alternatives that can be store bought (and which ones to avoid!). The presenter will emphasize that, with the knowledge of how to make a basic stock, they could prepare an endless variety of soups using whatever they had on hand. With the confidence of knowing how to make the base of the soup, the presenter will share with the participants the simplicity of a recipe like butternut squash and ginger soup. This session and the previous bread making session aim to contribute to the participants’ growing knowledge of the basics of baking and cooking and to their skillset in preparing simple, but nutritious and delicious meals.
