Recipes from the Summer/Fall Virtual Cooking Club:
The DSANV Cooking Club is based on the tenets of maximizing choice, ensuring hands on engagement, using adaptations (as needed to ensure safety) and promoting families cooking together.
Since the onset of COVID-19, everybody is experiencing a sense of isolation, so we have created the Virtual Cooking Challenge. All DSANV members are welcome to participate. As of October, 2020 life isn’t quite back to normal, so we have created the 2020 Fall/Winter Virtual Cooking Challenge, recipes will be listed on the Virtual Cooking Challenge page. Recipes can be made at any time and you may submit pictures of the self-advocate Chefs and their culinary creations to stacy.engels@dsanv.org
Along with the Fall/Winter Virtual Challenge, we’ll be featuring monthly LIVE Cooking Demonstrations.
Our hands on classes are led by self-advocate graduates of the DSANV Cooking Club and a family member partner. Leaders choose recipes, shop for ingredients, and help set up the cafeteria for their session. In March 2020 we are launching our virtual Cooking Club to all registered DSANV members.
The DSANV Cooking Club is based on the award winning text, Teaching Authentic Cooking Skills to Adults with with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Active Engagement by Janice Goldschmidt which:
