Culinary skills course offered for local youth
Minto residents Bonnie St. Jean and Pearl Oakes have volunteered their culinary skills and time to facilitate cooking classes for local youth in Grades 6 to 9.
The objective is to provide an opportunity for youth to learn all aspects of working in the kitchen such as: cleanliness during and after cooking, measurements of food, proper prep and use of utensils and sharp objects as well as the steps involved in preparing a complete meal.
Two sessions are planned for the three-week course, which will be held in the kitchen at the Harriston arena from 4 to 6:30pm.
Participation will be at a cost of $30 per person ($10 per week).
The first course will run Feb. 22, March 1 and March 8 and the second session will run March 22, March 29 and April 5.
