Through mastering various kitchen skills and personal development, Out of a Jam Essentials students will gain a deeper and better sense of their value, and skills that will help them reach their personal and professional goals.
What Our Students Learn
Food Safety Instruction
Serv Safe is the nationally recognized course from the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation. The curriculum covers five key areas: Basic food safety, personal hygiene, cross-contamination & allergens, time & temperature, and cleaning & sanitation. The students are instructed and tested and receive certification in these skill areas!
Shop, Cook & Eat! is the newest class added to our Education at Out Of A Jam.! Our mission is to teach busy parents and individuals how to shop wiser, cook more often and eat healthier meals. Our goal is for participants to put food on the table for their children that is delicious and affordable.
​
Each 2-3 hour class is chock-full of activities that will teach you how to plan, prep and prepare delicious meals for your family. Every participant receives a cooking manual with easy-to-follow instructions and over 50 amazing recipes that you can start cooking immediately. Class and materials are provided at no cost thanks to Out of a Jam's faithful supporters.
Fast food, frozen dinners, and delivery on demand have created a generation unaware of the value of a healthy home cooked meal. Studies have shown that children who learn to cook have healthier dietary habits that carry into adulthood.
This is where we come in! Feeding Fort Wayne Kids is an 6 week interactive culinary program designed to teach 8-12 year old's how much fun cooking and learning about food can truly be!
We introduce them to many nutritious foods that can help instill healthier eating habits and they create the tasteful meals that they get to take home at the end of every class.
