Summer Program: USA Regional Cuisines August 7-August 11

The kitchen is excited to introduce our summer program for Teens (ages 12+). The theme for this week "USA Regional Cuisines." Teens will work independentaly and in teams. The United States first developed as distinct regions isolated from one another, much like individual countries. To this day, certain locations are known for their regional cuisine. In this camp, we will cook some of the most loved local dishes from iconic cities around the country.This program teaches culinary basics and provides lots of hands on baking and cooking!  Students will make a savory and a sweet found in different regions of the USA. An example  menu for a day is New Mexico: Guacamole with Tortilla Chips; New Mexican Fried Green Chili Strips with Kid-Made Chile con Queso Dipping Sauce; Beef Enchilada Rojas (Tortilla Wrapped Ground Beef in Red Sauce topped with Cheese and baked); Sopapillas (Fried Dough topped with Honey and Cinnamon Sugar). We'll explore other regions like our hometown Boston, New Orleans, Chicago, and New York. 

 At the Kitchen we aim to use fresh in season ingredients and will tailor the menu to what's growing locally! This particular baking week is not suitable for students with gluten, egg, or dairy allergies.  All the classes are taught by Chef Colby.
