Calling all future chefs! Seniors & Ambassadors will take over the DreamLab for a hands-on Thanksgiving cooking experience. Girls will work together as a kitchen team, taking on roles & learning how a successful kitchen operates.
Throughout the program, Girl Scouts will build their culinary skills while preparing four Thanksgiving side dishes from scratch. From learning what al dente means to mastering the perfect mashed potato consistency, girls will gain practical skills they can bring into their own kitchens.
Girl Scouts will:
-
Run the DreamLab Kitchen: Take on kitchen roles & practicing communication & teamwork.
-
Make Mac & Cheese: Learn how to cook pasta al dente, shred & melt cheeses, season a homemade cheese sauce, portion the dish, & finish it with buttery breadcrumbs.
-
Prepare Honey-Roasted Carrots with Thyme: Practice peeling, seasoning, & roasting vegetables.
-
Create Sweet Potato Casserole: Boil & mash sweet potatoes, incorporate cream, warm spices, top with marshmallows, & carefully toast the topping for the perfect finish.
-
Whip Up Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Learn how to cook potatoes until fork-tender & combine butter, heavy cream, fresh garlic, & seasonings to create a smooth & flavorful Thanksgiving side.
-
Plate & Garnish Like a Chef: Put the finishing touches on each dish & learn how presentation can elevate a homemade meal.
