Ready, Set, Cook!- Learn to Cook Safely and Independently

Description

Hi there,
We want to share an exciting opportunity with you!
Ready, Set, Cook! is a hands-on cooking course designed to help people with disabilities learn how to cook safely, build confidence in the kitchen, and develop independent living skills.
This is a 6-week, in-person cooking program where you will actively prepare food, learn how to use kitchen tools safely, and practice real-life cooking skills in a supportive, supervised environment.

What You’ll Learn

You’ll gain skills in:

• Kitchen safety and emergency response
• Safe knife use and kitchen tools
• Food sanitation and cleanliness
• Cooking temperatures and food safety
• Meal planning and preparation
• Cooking full meals independently

This is a hands-on class- you will be cooking, not just watching!

Who Can Join

• Are age 16 or older
• Have an intellectual, cognitive, or developmental disability
