Online classes take place every week and children receive a list of ingredients they will need for the recipe. (Online participants must also show proof of parental permission to cook at home and have the support of an adult during the cooking class.) “We have our own playlist of cooking videos and blog posts, and some of our families send us photos of the kids that have completed recipes,” Daly Guichet says. Davis and Daly Guichet like to showcase different cultures through recipes. During Black History Month, for example, they fixed rural Southern staples. There are tricks to getting fried chicken, cornbread, kale or collard greens just right. “It teaches them a skill. It’s really fun for us and we know that we’ll be preparing the kids their life outside the club,” Daly Guichet says. Classes at BGCMC campuses are free. For online classes, participants must buy their ingredients.
