OKEECHOBEE CHURCH HOSTS KIDS COOKING CLASS

by Rafael Fernandez
Okeechobee, Fla., Church is conducting a Kids In the Kitchen cooking class on the first Tuesday of each month for students eight years and older. The hands-on class helps students enjoy culinary experiences in food preparation, presentation, and taste-testing.
Students are learning how to prepare healthy foods they love to cook and eat. They are also learning how to read labels, select good produce, set a proper table, have good manners, plan menus, use measurement equivalents, make healthy food choices, and practice kitchen safety. The students are supervised by adults, keeping safety as a top priority.
“The class is free,” reports Pastor Rafael Fernandez, “as this is a church ministry and community outreach opportunity.”
