Hello readers!

My name is Cara and I am the intern for the Kitchen All Stars program on Mondays and Wednesdays in Chinatown.  I have been having a great time at Brainfood so far!  All of the students are so wonderful and bring such a different food experience to class.  I love to share stories and watch their skills progress each time we are in the kitchen.  Their reactions when eating at the end of class is my favorite part.  I love to see students surprised to like a food they thought they hated and be proud that they are trying new things and creating delicious food all on their own.  Everyone seems to learn very quickly and really enjoy themselves.  Since we started out baking, my favorite recipe from that section was the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes... yum.  This past class, we made Ratatouille and that had to be my second favorite.  I really enjoy coming to class every week and look forward to the recipes we make and the time we get to share together!
