Chef McPeake teaches in a way that will challenge and inspire the kids to pursue a lifelong love of all things culinary!  Students are required to wear a white chef jacket to each class.  These are available to purchase in our Kitchen Shop if desired.  (See below for descriptions of techniques taught each day)  

DAY 1: Basics of BBQ & Grilling   
Chef will cover all the grilling basics in a fun and informative way so the kids really “get it!” and can use this knowledge to grow their culinary skills. They will receive plenty of hands-on practice creating recipes such as Chicken Kabobs, Grilled Stuffed Burgers and more. In addition, they’ll learn the fundamentals of creating rubs and sauces and will create their very own BBQ Rub & BBQ Sauce.

DAY 2: Breadmaking & The Art Of The Sandwich
Kids will learn breadmaking skills as well as cooking techniques associated with sandwich styles unique to various cuisines.  They will create a versatile homemade bread-dough known as Focaccia which can be varied to make many styles of dishes and sandwiches.  The students will learn to use a grill-press and other equipment associated with bread-making.
