Cooking With Youngsters; Have Fun and Learn

Cooking With Youngsters; Have Fun and Learn

Cooking with Youngsters; Have Fun and Learn

 

A lot of opportunities can be found to spend time with youngsters, teaching them introductory cooking, having a good time, building self-esteem and supporting family growth.  Many youngsters, (we’ll just address girls here if we may, although boys might have the same interest), start showing significant interest in family responsibility type activities at 8 to 10 years.  This can be manifested in many ways as there are so many things that must be accomplished in the typical household.  Cooking together can be a great way for girls to really get to know various members of the family or community as well as getting lessons with lifetime benefit.

 

When girls start to indicate an interest in cooking, it may or may not be with their mothers.  If it is with their mothers the interest is likely more attuned to helping out; if the interest is indicated with another family member it possibly indicates a desire to learn a new activity.

 

The age and experience of a young girl impacts the complexity of the dish and recipe, time spent actually cooking, and of course safety concerns.  Youngsters are learning and maturing very rapidly and there can be a large difference between ages 8 and 10. 
Another important consideration is how “serious” joint cooking activities will be.  On the younger end the project might need to be seen as a  form of play, with plenty of time for zigs and zags back and forth to other activities.  As the young cooks mature, they will have more interest in “staying the course” through a dish or recipe, and then moving to another possibly overlapping dish.  It is sometimes a challenge to pick just the right level of encouragement to “stay on task” vs. letting the right amount of play time in.  It’s usually the wise choice to make it a lot of fun and let the concentration come naturally with maturity. 

 

Choosing appropriate recipes is easy and if possible can be done jointly with the aspiring cook.  Desserts are always good choices led by cupcakes, brownies, fruit bars, etc.  Another good choice because it is easy and you get a lot of output is to make pancakes. There are an unlimited number of choices of course.  Simple recipes and short preparation times are important early on in the process.

 

When girls at these ages have the opportunity to make something real, with new skills and having fun, and having that result be something that is good to eat and brings a lot of compliments, they get an important sense of satisfaction and self-esteem.  As the joint cooking proceeds a steady improvement will be seen in handling the various tasks, moving from the small steps to overseeing the entire recipe.

 

If you are very fortunate and have the opportunity to share your cooking experience and knowledge with a young girl and get some consistency to the activity, there are some very attractive and appropriate gifts that can go along with the cooking.  Available on the internet are a variety of children’s chef’s hats, aprons, bib aprons, chef’s jackets & coats, etc.   These are

easy to find on the internet and some come in wild colors.  They will make excellent gifts for the aspiring cook and reinforce an enjoyable and very useful skill.

Children’s Cooking Classes Arrive at Casa de los Sabores, Oaxaca, Mexico

Children’s Cooking Classes Arrive at Casa de los Sabores, Oaxaca, Mexico

What better way to begin offering children’s cooking classes than with pizza and mango smoothies.  The inaugural children’s cooking lesson at Chef Pilar Cabrera’s Casa de los Sabores, in Oaxaca, Mexico, imparted the basics of kitchen safety and hygiene, composting and recycling, and nutrition, all within a three-hour session. And at the same time, lead instructor Ninfa Raigosa infused the morning with helpful food preparation tips that even as adults we don’t always learn early enough in our culinary lives. But best of all, it took place within the context of preparing recipes which are fun for children to make — with the dreaded green salad snuck in at the end.

 

Genesis for Offering Children’s Cooking Lessons in Oaxaca

 

The idea of offering cooking lessons for young boys and girls came to fruition as a result of two phenomena.  Firstly, often in the course of fielding inquiries for cooking classes from tourists visiting Oaxaca with their families, Chef Pilar would be asked whether or not children could attend.  Of course age has always been a factor, but often requests have had to be rejected so as to ensure that classes proceeded in an orderly fashion without undue disruption, for the benefit of the mainly adult aficionados of Oaxacan cuisine.  

 

Secondly, many Oaxacans are at a loss for what to do with their children once school is out for summer vacation.  While certainly activities abound in Oaxaca, relative to what’s available in larger urban centers, they’re limited.  Why not offer a two-week cooking course in July?

 

And so this initial class held on May 1, 2010, was intended as a precursor to initially a summertime cooking course, and then classes during other holiday times throughout the year. For tourists traveling with children, timing should be perfect.  And for multiple families traveling together at any time of the year, this could be just what the pediatrician ordered. 

 

Of course Pilar Cabrera’s reputation as a national figure on the Mexican culinary scene has long been established through her “House of Flavors” cooking school and downtown Oaxaca restaurant La Olla, and more recently through her forays onto the international stage (food festivals in Toronto and San Antonio, with upcoming dates in Austin and Stratford).  She hand-picked Ninfa Cecilia Raigosa Paras to head up this new initiative for two reasons.  Firstly, Chef Ninfa arrives with a diversity of experience, including educational training (at the Rocatti Centro de Estudios Culinarios), in catering and banquets, at various restaurants, and in specialty bakeries (i.e. Deli Cupcakes and Dulce Nectar).  Secondly, and perhaps key, is Chef’s Ninfa’s uncanny ability to relate to children using her amiable personality and warm smile – and just like Pilar, she’s bilingual. 

 

The bonus for American and Canadian children is that with a mixed class of Mexican and foreign visitors, and bilingual instruction, the kids are bound to learn some basic kitchen and ingredient words in Spanish, if not through direct teaching, then certainly through osmosis.

 

The May 1, 2010, Cooking Class for Children at Casa de los Sabores, Oaxaca

 

Chefs Pilar and Ninfa were both at the helm of this frist class, attended by ten children of varying ages.  Most parents remained on site at the outset, to take photographs and to obtain first-hand assurance that their children would be comfortable in a class of predominantly unfamiliar faces.

 

In this type of learning environment the ice must initially be broken.  Here it was achieved by asking each child’s name and promoting interaction between the children themselves, and with Ninfa and Pilar. The ingredients for each recipe were contained in a separate large, round colorful basket.  “Who knows why we use yeast?”  And then to reassure parents, “when we cut these mangos to make the smoothies, we won’t be using sharp knives; but you should always be extra careful when using knives, and never, ever raise a knife to head level. Can someone tell me why?”

 

Recipe sheets are distributed.  Chef Ninfa goes through each recipe, pointing to the ingredients in each basket and briefly explaining how they will be used. 

 

For the pizza dough segment, the group is divided into two teams, one learning to make the dough from scratch, and the other about kneading and rolling: “Always mix the dry ingredients first, and use your hands.” And for the benefit of those who had grown up watching their abuelitas making tortillas: “Making pizza dough is similar to making tortillas; if it starts to stick, use more flour.”  Hands-on classes tend to work best, especially so for children.

 

“Okay, anyone want a cookie?”  Three times in the course of the lesson, short breaks are encouraged so as to not overload information intake nor run the risk of boredom setting in. “There are plastic bottles of water over here, and a couple of marking pens so each of you can write your name so they don’t get mixed up.”

 

The children are given a choice of making large or medium crusts, by shaping the dough themselves, or choosing from the several small forms which are provided; hearts, mushrooms, trees, and squares, triangles, circles.  The sauce has been pre-mixed, but the children are encouraged to choose their toppings from selections of veggies, sliced meats, and even fresh basil.  “Did you know that a mushroom is actually a fungus?”

 

“Now let’s all wash our hands again. But let’s not forget to first clean off our work areas well, and put the organic waste in this bin, and the rest over there.  Does your neighborhood have recycling programs?”

 

“Attention everybody please; now while the pizza is in the oven we’re going to make the mango smoothies. I’m going to teach you how to peel your mangos, safely, by carefully cutting four strips through the skin … just like peeling a banana.”  The children are encouraged to use every bit of pulp, right down to the pit. 

 

“Here’s the bowl with the mango cut up, and now we’re going to add some pineapple, some orange juice, a bit of yoghurt …. and who knows about linseed and why we add little bit to the blender as well?” A brief discussion ensures about omegas and energy.

 

Smoothies are prepared and poured into plastic cups accompanied by straws and small decorative drink umbrellas.  “Taste how sweet it is; and you know, we didn’t put in any sugar.  You can make your own smoothies using other kinds of fruit as well, such as watermelon and cantaloupe, and they’ll taste just as fresh, flavorful and sweet, without any added sugar.  By the way, there’s a bowl of strawberries over there if anyone wants a little snack.” 

 

The children are then asked to review their printed recipes for the salad.  Some had actually put check marks beside the pizza and smoothie ingredients as they were being used. A lesson ensues about the different types of lettuce, its general lack of taste, and hence the reason for using dressing:  “We always use oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, and today we’re using balsamic vinegar and olive oil.  Has everyone tried this kind of vinegar?  Okay then, we’ll each try a bit.  It’ll be a bit sweet.” 

 

“Is it soya sauce,” someone asks.  “It’s delicious,” another pipes in, while a third emphatically states he doesn’t like it.

 

“Vinegar and oil have to be mixed together really well.  See the oil at the top; now watch.”

 

Plates are passed out, and each child is encouraged to create his own salad by adding pre-cut vegetables and grated cheese to the organic lettuce.  The printed salad recipe sheet concludes with: “Taste, check the seasoning, and serve immediately.”

 

The pizzas then are removed from the oven and allowed to cool; each child is encouraged to take what he made, as well as to sample from the larger pizzas.  The group sits around the large rectangular table, indulging in the fruits of their labor, while chatting and joking with their new-found friends. 

 

Children’s Cooking Classes in Oaxaca Provide Exposure to International Dishes

                 

The summer, 2010, two week course will present participants with an opportunity to learn to prepare menus from different parts of the world, each day represented by the cuisine of a different country.  Subsequent series of classes will likely follow suit. Groups interested in single lessons will be able to choose from a selection of international menus, but there will inevitably be restrictions in terms of dishes requiring stove-top preparation, out of an abundance of caution.  According to Chef Pilar, “children’s safety must remain the foremost consideration.”

Are You Cooking with the Best Tools?

Are You Cooking with the Best Tools?

Undoubtedly baking requires certain accessories. There are a number of factors that determine the state of your baked goods when you pull them from the oven. The following cooking tools may be some things you want or need when you’re baking. Of you should begin with the basics. First, you want to have at least one set of measuring utensils. Baking recipes are usually very specific with their ingredients, so measuring tools are extremely helpful. Although plastic works fine, metal measuring cups are very good for dry items as are glass cups for wet ones. Another tool that’s useful for the delicate baking process is the thermometer. Making hard candy is just one use for a cooking thermometer. Because of the number of applications for them in the kitchen, cooking thermometers vary for baking candies, meats and other foods. Silicone sheets are professional-quality baking accessories. The durable and resilient silicone helps you lift and remove your foods intact. Cleaning is also easier and quicker. This short list only mentions a few of the basics to have in your kitchen. For other tasks of rolling, scooping and stirring there are even more tools to have. The foods that you cook and how often you do it are a couple of factors that can affect what you need. After you’ve got the basics, look out for the cool new products. One such gadget is the mini cupcake maker. In little time, the cupcake maker cooks up a handful of the sweet desserts. The baking tray has a non-stick coating and can make at least five little cupcakes. There are also some pizza ovens made on the style of countertop indoor grills. If you want a tool specifically for making pizza, consider one of these circular cooking tools. A high-quality pizza maker can deliver a pizza just as if you had ordered out. You may want a whole line of silicone moulds or muffin cups. A countertop scale could benefit a baker who likes to make breads. There are devices that can separate your eggs for you. There are practical supplies for nearly every kitchen need. Like with mechanics and technology, it’s important to be equipped properly for baking. Whether you’re making savory foods or sweets, you want to get the tastiest results. Fill your kitchen with enticing smells and the right cooking accessories.

Questions and Answers About Cooking

Questions and Answers About Cooking

Questions and Answers About Cooking

Q: What are the best apples for baking?

A: Cortland, or Ida Redor Paula Red. You want a large apple that will hold its texture (and its flavor) during the long baking process. Apples that are good for applesauce, such as Macintosh, are useless for baking because they’ll turn to mush.

Q: Can you substitute baking soda and baking powder for one another?

A: Not directly. But baking soda—sodium bicarbonate—is a good leaven in pastries that contain acid such as buttermilk, sour cream, or yogurt. If there is little or no acid in a recipe and you want to use baking soda (or you’ve run out of baking powder), mix 1 teaspoon baking soda and 2 teaspoons cream of tartar. This works because cream of tartar is acidic and eliminates the need for additional acid in the batter. You can use this as a replacement for commercial baking powder—on a one-for-one basis—but you must work quickly once you combine wet and dry ingredients.

Why? Because this homemade baking powder is a single-action baking powder and begins to do its work the instant it is combined with liquid. Commercial baking powders are double-action; they partly begin to work when exposed to liquid, but another part works only when exposed to heat. You can see this: Little bubbles form between the time you combine ingredients and move the batter to the pan, but the batter continues to rise in the oven.

Commercial baking powder, therefore, is more effective than the homemade kind. But it isn’t necessarily more desirable because it has a distinctive flavor. (This is especially true of those containing aluminum.) It also becomes less effective over time. You should replace your baking powder, even if it isn’t used up, at least once a year.

Q: What sort of training do I need to become a professional chef?

A: If you want to train to be a practical chef—the kind of person who runs a hotel restaurant, a restaurant that’s part of a chain, a large catering operation, or anything corporate—it’s best to go to an accredited cooking school. They exist in almost every major metropolitan center and at many universities.

If you want to be a celebrity chef, however, all you need are ambition, personality, creativity, talent, about 15 years of hard work, and a lot of luck. The best way to start is to apprentice under an old-fashioned chef and stick with it.

Q: When I roast a whole chicken, what’s the best way of testing whether it is fully cooked?

A: To be sure, you need two methods: The first is an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meatiest part of the thigh; it should read at least 155 degrees (some people say 165 or more to insure perfect safety). The second is to make sure the juices in the cavity and at the bone joints run clear, not bloody (a touch of pink is probably okay). Usually, the thermometer is enough, and the second method just a precaution; it depends on your level of paranoia. In time, you will know when a chicken is done just by looking and touching.

Q: If a cake recipe requires three 8-by-2-inch cake pans, is it OK to use three 9-by-2-inch pans instead?

A: Yes—as long as you keep an eye on things; the cooking time will be significantly shorter, but as no cooking times are ironclad it should be fine.

Q: Does searing a large cut of meat such as tenderloin before roasting it really ‘seal in’ all of the juices and flavor?

A: Not at all. You can’t seal the juices in a piece of meat any more than you can seal the blood in your body (sorry, but it’s the best analogy). If you poke a hole, some of those juices will come out, and searing will do nothing to change that. (On the other hand, poking a hole is not the same as popping a balloon but more like cutting yourself; some juices will come out, but on the whole the damage will not be noticeable.)

However, searing—or browning, a more understandable word—adds flavor to foods, by creating complex flavors. So there is still a good reason to do it, if time allows. If time does not allow, it’s a step that can usually be skipped.

Q: If a recipe calls for dark brown sugar, can I substitute light brown sugar? Is there any real difference?

A: Absolutely you can substitute; the only difference is the amount of molasses they each contain. The flavor of dark brown sugar is somewhat more complex (and bitter, in the way that molasses is bitter), but not noticeably in most recipes. Remember that usually either is but one of many ingredients in a given preparation.

Q: Is there any advantage to using a cast-iron skillet rather than a regular or nonstick skillet?

A: Cast iron is inexpensive and lasts forever; it’s virtually indestructible. It has a couple of disadvantages, however: One, it is heavy, and, especially when loaded with food, requires strength to handle. Two, it is not nonstick until it develops the patina that comes with use. (You can encourage this nonstick surface to develop by washing cast-iron pans with little or no soap and wiping them dry; wiping them with a tiny bit of oil every now and then also helps.) But all in all it remains an excellent material for skillets and sauté pans.

Q: What exactly is ‘deglazing,’ and how does one do it?

A: If you’ve made gravy after roasting a turkey, you’ve ‘deglazed.’

When you cook meat, fish, or vegetables in fat—oil or butter, usually—some of the flavor (and, if you’re not using a nonstick pan, some of the meat, fish, or vegetable) stays behind in the pan. This flavor can be recaptured and turned into a sauce by adding a bit of liquid—typically wine or stock, but really any liquid, like juice, coffee, or even water—to the pan and stirring over high heat until the liquid reduces in volume a bit. (Another term for deglazing is ‘making a reduction.’) The resulting sauce can be enriched by stirring in a little butter or olive oil, but it isn’t necessary. Here’s a recipe, with plenty of options (from The Minimalist Cooks at Home):

Basic Reduction Sauce

Total time: 20 minutes

Makes about 2 cups

2 tablespoons minced shallot, onion, or scallion

3 cups stock or water

2 tablespoons softened butter or olive oil (optional)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1. Remove whatever meat, fish, or poultry you’ve cooked from the roasting pan or skillet and pour off all but 1 or 2 tablespoons of the cooking fat (if there are non-fatty juices in the skillet or roasting pan leave them in there). Place the pan over high heat (use two burners if the pan is large). Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until it softens, about 1 minute.

2. Add the liquid and cook, stirring and scraping to loosen the brown bits at the bottom of the pan. Allow the liquid to boil for about 5 minutes, or until about a third of it evaporates. (This is a good time to carve the meat, if that’s necessary, as the boiling liquid need not be stirred except very occasionally.)

3. Turn the heat to medium-low and add the butter or oil, a little at a time, stirring well after each addition to incorporate it. Taste and season if necessary with salt and pepper, then serve with the meat.

There are several ways to add weight to a reduction:

Reduce 1/2 to 1 cup of wine, fortified wine, or fruit or vegetable juice to just a couple of tablespoons before adding the stock or water.

Make the flavor even stronger by stirring in a teaspoon or more of prepared mustard, horseradish, soy sauce, or other condiments.

Add minced fresh or dried herbs to the mixture along with the shallots: a few tablespoons of parsley or small amounts of sage, tarragon, or thyme are all good. You can also add capers, anchovies, chopped bell pepper, or minced garlic.

Q: What kind of consistency can I expect for gravy if I use flour and butter? Cornstarch?

Cornstarch is the easiest: A tablespoon or two of cornstarch, mixed with a tablespoon or two of cold water, and stirred into a cup of simmering liquid, will thicken it instantly (the more cornstarch you use, the thicker it will get) and without any lumps. Butter and flour is more difficult, because flour does lump. There are ways around that, but they’re much more complicated than using cornstarch. Or skip the thickening entirely, as it is essentially cosmetic; if it’s flavor you’re after, just stir in a little bit of butter.

Q: What are some tips for buying fish?

A: It can be simple: Good fish looks and smells good. If it smells bad, it can’t taste good. Some fishmongers at supermarket seafood counters may not allow you to smell fish before buying it. If this is the case but the fish passes the appearance test, you might consider buying it, opening the package on the spot, and—if the smell is at all off—handing it right back.

Steaks and fillets are best cut to order from whole fish. Whole fish keep better than precut steaks and fillets. In addition, cutting to order allows you to dictate the size and thickness of the steak, as well as to request fillets from the best-looking fish. Quality is probably a top priority for a store that provides this service.

However, most fillets and even steaks are cut from fish before they reach the fish counter. So here are a few general rules:

*Start with your eyes: The surface of the fish should glisten; it should be bright, clear, reflective, and almost translucent. Generally, you don’t want any fish whose surface appears brown, dull, opaque, or muddy. Remember, fillets and steaks should be

Cooking Tips

Now a days we find that knives are available in different sizes and have unique handles and blade curves to suit our specific needs. The makers of these chef knives have realized that it is imperative to have a good grip while using them and this is why some of the research and development initiative have been focusing on getting better handle grips for the products that they come up with. If you want vegetables dish (like mixed vegetables, potato curry, brinjal curry etc.) becomes more tastier, add a pinch of Asafoetida (Hing) in the time of sauteing the spices.

Make a double batch and freeze it. Ready-to-eat meals are convenient, but expensive when you buy them from a store. Instead, make your own ready-to-eat meals so that you can get the benefits without any of the consequences. Abhishek is a full time Internet Marketer. But more than that, he is passionate about setting goals and achieving them. He is action-oriented and has a strong work ethic. He enjoys reading, writing, socializing, meeting people, and traveling. He is also fond of good Hollywood movies. Try angel food cupcakes instead of chocolate. You can even flavor these cupcakes with cocoa to create a chocolate cupcake with a fraction of the calories a traditional chocolate cupcake would have.

There are always ingredients that you will need often when you cook. That’s why it’s always a good idea to have a stock of them ready to avoid inconvenience. Some of these cooking requisites would be sugar, salt and pepper for giving food its basic taste and shortening and flour for baking. Lastly, don’t be afraid to experiment. When you’re cooking alone, this is the time to mess up. Feel free to try different foods you might not normal try, and see how you feel about them. As you become involved with others, it will impress them when you show you’re wide knowledge of cooking ingredients, and avoids the trouble of messing up when they’re there with you.

How to store a block of Cream Cheese: Cheese in a block can easily go to waste if not stored correctly. It is easy to store your block cream cheese by simply keeping it in your refrigerator. For blocks that have been opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap. Freezing is not recommended. Begin by buying asparagus right. Select asparagus spears that look a fresh and bright green and that have compact but firm tips. If you need to cook with asparagus that has slightly wilted tips, firm them up by soaking them in cold water for a few minutes.

Some people think that working out till the whole body is sore, is the fastest and the best way to lose weight. However this might not be true for each and every case. Losing weight with the aid of recipes is going to be easier than losing weight by exercising excessively. Well, see, if that is how you look at what a Dutch oven is, then you are mistaken. The real deal about this is that it is not your usual oven. In fact, it is actually a cooking pot but is usually fashioned using cast iron and is made to have a really thick wall. But that does not end there.
