More Information: Our Art of Cooking - Covering the Basic classes are designed to teach the fundamentals of cooking food prep and meal planning. Overseen by our Certified Life and Health Coach Siobhan Alban and Our Beyond the Spectrum Program Founder Rebecca Whitman we walk students through the journey of gaining independence while learning the Art of Cooking.  

We approach this class as if we are teaching a life skill and it is a part of our Art of Life Program. This skill set will follow the student for his or her entire life. We are very deliberate in our approach to teaching. We foster independence and teach the students the fundamental skill of caring for themselves. This class encourages self-confidence and positive self-care teaches healthy choice-making and builds skills that work toward independence and a successful future. 

We use tools that are safe and easy to use and meals that are easy to create at home in a safe way. The basics class uses tools such as electric skillets electric griddles crock pots and air friers. This allows the student to learn how to prepare food without the dangers that may happen for beginners. Our goal is that the student will be able to manage this task independently and without parental or adult supervision.

Registration is required at least 3 days in advance of each class to allow us to order fresh ingredients and to ensure each student has access to all needed supplies. 

Each class is approximately 1.5- 2 hours long.
