Zoom Cooking demos

This class will run over 4 sessions. Parents and teens are going to learn together how to stock your fridge, freezer, and pantry with the basics. It will include how to cook the basics, what to send your kids with at the beginning of school and what you should send them back with after a visit. If you are not in university and want to learn the basics this course is open to anyone. It will also be available for purchase as Zoom recordings once the course runs. As a bonus, Shauna will contact all participants in the Fall to check in to see how they are managing with their cooking skills and answer any questions that they have.

Class times

July 27/28 and August 10/12 4-6 p.m.

In this video we made both the Mu Shu mixture and fried up some really easy Spring onion wraps. You can use egg as the protein or alternatively you can use tofu as a plant based protein in the vegetable stir fry. If you don’t wish to make the wraps, you have the option of making the stir fry with us and using store bought wraps. Whatever your preference is!

We will be making an Asparagus chive frittata that you will love having in your repertoire. Next we will bake up some birdseed bites. I developed these as a tribute to our family bird ‘Maple’. These can be enjoyed as a healthy dessert, snack, or even breakfast.
