This skill is so necessary, not only for our young ladies, but for our young men too. It was a lovely connection for me to see the recommended reading as Little Men, by Louisa May Alcott.
Although it doesn't show up well in this file, the recipe cards and clippings are well contained in the plastic sleeves of page protectors. We found recipes in various places, such as Tea and Cake with the Saints by Alice Cantrell, Tiana's Cookbook (She is Disney's The Princess and the Frog heroine) and American Girl books.
The girls learned of basic kitchen safety, measuring procedures and were able to make a non-bake recipe, (the facility was not equipped with a kitchen we could use). If you are working with a similar space, bring in measuring cups, types of utensils and baking pans to let the girls become familiar with them.
We are fortunate to have a food bank within our parish, so touring and donating items were very easy to arrange and carry out.
