After their shopping trip to the farmer’s market, the middle schoolers at Star Academy were excited for our cooking class together.  And after worrying a bit about eating kale, they devoured our meal with gusto!

Now that we had the ingredients, we had to prepare them and cook them up.  We walked down to the Star Academy Kitchen and we started cooking. We had an amazing day cooking our creations and eating them.  We tore off Dinosaur Kale leaves and then we massaged the dinosaur kale with some oil. ~AW

Now that we had the ingredients, we had to prepare them and cook ‘em up.  We all washed our hands and the zucchini.  We started to cut them with non-sharp knives.  The zucchini fries were cooked and it made a perfect lunch! ~ JC

All of the recipes that we prepared in today’s class are in The Whole Family Cookbook, by Michelle Stern.
