| Description |
A volunteer will lead a small group of 3-5 participants through cooking a recipe. Participants will be at various levels of kitchen experience and the volunteer should feel confident explaining basic kitchen skills. Recipe is meant to serve the group as well as be packaged as prepared frozen food to give out to the community. Ideally the volunteer submits their own idea for a recipe (approx. 20. portions or more) to be approved by DCC Program Facilitators. Experience working in hospitality or cooking training would be an asset, but not required. Food safe is also an asset, but not required. |
