To teach our campers advanced pastry skills and knowledge while building their confidence in themselves and their abilities. Upon completing this program, our campers will understand the foundations of pastry preparation and have the skills and confidence to execute these recipes independently at home.
This year we’re raising the bar in this advanced pastry program! Perfecting Pastries is designed to challenge your chefs-in-training and teach them how to prepare recipes they otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to make. This program will feature a wide range of high-level pastries and baked goods, such as laminated doughs, bread, creams and custards, candies, pies and tarts, and showstopping cakes! Your child will explore all that you can create with butter, sugar, flour and everything in-between!
Menu sneak peek: Homemade S’mores Twix Bars, Mixed Berry Mille Feuille, Chocolate Croissants, Sourdough Baguettes, Showstopping Geode Cake with Homemade Candy and Fondant
Review Full Course Description
Campers will prepare their own culinary creations for lunch everyday, however, the focus will be more-so on the sweets. We will delve into the importance of science in successful baking, and we place an emphasis on teaching theory so your pastry-chef-to-be will know all the why’s behind baking thereby ensuring their continued success in the kitchen.
Perfecting Pastries differs from Budding Bakers in that we will focus on more advanced pastry skills and techniques, and prepare more complex recipes that involve multiple steps and components. As such, it is recommended that participants partake in Budding Bakers or come with a substantial level of baking experience prior to enrollment.
After a week of hands-on practice and learning about pastry theory, they will build confidence in themselves to take on new challenges. Our experienced chefs will be there to guide and support your aspiring pastry chef through learning all the tricks of the trade.

To teach our campers advanced culinary skills and knowledge while building their confidence in themselves and their abilities. Upon completion of this program, our campers will understand a wide range of culinary theories, how to use ratios and their foundational knowledge to cook without recipes, and have the skills and confidence to cook independently at home.
In the pursuit of changing things up from our previous Master Chef camps, we are pleased to introduce Master Chef 2.0. Just like our original Master Chef program, Master Chef 2.0 is all about teaching our students to be creative with food and ultimately cook with their hearts more than their heads! We teach this by incorporating daily afternoon challenges and group recipe development exercises only offered by Rooks to Cooks.
Menu sneak peek:
The daily challenges are as follows: Monday – Vinaigrette Visionary Tuesday – Cupcake Wars Wednesday – Iron Chef Thursday – Chopped! Friday – Pop-up preparation
Review Full Course Description
All our afternoon challenges are preceded with power house culinary theory meant to guide your master chef-in-the-making to success during their challenges. First and foremost, we build these challenges to be fun, while at the same time they are meant to motivate our campers to help them find their unique cooking style. Our goal is to have the challenges act as a platform for our chef-in-the-making, so they can soar as confident, creative and skilled young cooks.
In addition to the daily challenges, we will spend the mornings teaching our campers more advanced cooking techniques and theory, helping them to build their knowledge and skill in the culinary arts. They will, of course, have hands-on practice through the preparation of 2-3 daily recipes excluding those completed in the challenges. These recipes will act as their daily lunch and take homes to share with the family.
Due to the challenging nature of this program, it is mandatory that our Master Chef students complete at least one intermediate or advanced camp session prior to registration in order to learn the basic skills of the kitchen beforehand. Beginners are not permitted to join this session.

In addition to the daily challenges, we will spend the mornings teaching our campers more advanced cooking techniques and theory, helping them to build their knowledge and skill in the culinary arts. They will, of course, have hands-on practice through the preparation of 2-3 daily recipes excluding those completed in the challenges. These recipes will act as their daily lunch and take homes to share with the family.
Due to the challenging nature of this program, it is mandatory that our Master Chef students complete at least one intermediate or advanced camp session prior to registration in order to learn the basic skills of the kitchen beforehand. Beginners are not permitted to join this session.

An easy Valentine's Day treat to share with your loved ones!
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 14
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 bag of large marshmallows
6 cups rice krispy cereal
1 bag of dark chocolate chips
4 ounce white chocolate chips
Valentine's day sprinkles
Heart shaped cookie cutter
Cooking spray
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare a 9 x 13 baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray. Set aside. Also prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
In a large stockpot, melt 3 tbsp. of butter on medium high heat then add in the bag of marshmallows. Stir the marshmallows until they all melt. You must keep stirring to avoid burning the marshmallows.
As soon as the marshmallows are all melted, remove from heat and pour in the rice krispies. Mix it all together until all the rice krispies are coated in marshmallow.
Pour the mixture into the baking dish then spray your hands with cooking spray. Using your hands, press down the rice krispies in the baking pan.
Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, press it into the rice krispy to cut out the heart shapes then place them on the prepared baking sheet. Keep doing so until you run out of space, then reform the rice krispies and continue to cut out until you can't anymore.
Let the rice krispies rest for 15 minutes to harden up. In the meantime, over a double boiler, melt your dark chocolate and white chocolate in 2 separate shallow bowls.
When ready, take a heart and dip the bottom side of it into the dark chocolate then lay down the non-chocolate dipped side on the parchment paper. Continue until all hearts have been dipped in chocolate.
Pop the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to let the chocolate harden. When ready, flip the hearts over and drizzle white chocolate on the non-chocolate dipped side with a fork and sprinkle the sprinkles on top.
Store in an airtight container.

Add half of the egg whites to the butter mixture and mix well and scrape down the sides.
Add the rest of the egg whites and mix again. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.
In a large mixing bowl, alternate between adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet mixture (1/3 dry, mix, 1/2 milk, mix, etc.)
Grease 2 pans and line them with parchment. Pour crushed cookies into one of the pans and spread out to form the bottom of the cake. Pour half of the batter into each pan.
Gently tap the pan with cookies on the counter a few times to settle.
Bake both cakes for 30 to 45 minutes.
Walnut Cake
Whisk together flour, ground walnuts, baking soda, salt.
In another bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and shortening. Add an egg and vanilla extract and mix again.

Lay the walnut cake on next. Repeat frosting with chocolate and caramel.
Place the carrot cake on next and then frost it with chocolate only.

Imagine the Easter Bunny laying an egg. Wait.
Fun, easy Easter treats. Make a little hollow in the center and fill with smaller candies, or just fill with one larger piece. Decorate the outside with different colors of sprinkles.
YIELDS: 12 servings
PREP TIME: 0 hours 20 mins
COOK TIME: 0 hours 5 mins
TOTAL TIME: 0 hours 25 mins
Ingredients
4 tbsp. Butter
1 package (10 Ounces) Mini Marshmallows
6 c. Rice Krispies
Assorted Sprinkles
Small Chocolate Easter Eggs
Plastic Easter Eggs
Directions
In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from heat, then add rice cereal and stir until well coated. Lightly spray interior of the plastic eggs with non-stick cooking spray. If mixture is too sticky, you can also spray your hands. Fill both sides of the plastic egg with rice cereal mixture, slightly over-filling one side. Press chocolate egg in the center on one side of the egg, then close the plastic egg to shape it. (It should be full enough to meet with a little resistance as you close it.) Gently release the rice cereal egg from the mold, decorate with your choice of sprinkles and set aside in egg crate until set.
Add the butter to a pot or large saucepan and melt it over medium heat.
Throw in a bag of mini-marshmallows…
And stir it until the marshmallows are melty and sinful.
Throw in 6 cups of Rice Krispies…
And stir it around gently until it’s all sticky and gooey and combined.
Next, lightly spray the inside of a plastic Easter egg with cooking spray.
You know. Those plastic Easter eggs? The ones you think are taking over your house one minute, then the next minute, when you actually need them to photograph a recipe, you can’t find one to save your life so you drive over to your sister-in-law’s house and borrow hers?
Yes, those plastic Easter eggs.
Stuff one half with the Rice Krispie mixture, then press a chocolate egg into the center. (The official Rice Krispie recipe calls for hollowing out a well and placing small candies in the center, but my motto is “Go Big Chocolate Easter Egg or Go Home.”)
Fill the other half of the egg with more cereal mixture, then press the two halves together until they’re totally closed. The egg should be full enough to meet with a little resistance as you close the egg, but not so full that you feel like you’re crushing the life out of the cereal.
A few seconds later, gently pull the egg out of…well, the egg! I found that the longer you let them sit in the plastic eggs, the harder it was to get out.
Sprinkle them with different springy colors of sprinkles, and place them in an egg holder to let them set.
Let the kids do this part!
Just have a broom nearby.
Lovely and adorable.

Five ingredients and 15 minutes is all you need to make these delicious scrambled eggs – perfect for a dinner.
Ingredients
6 eggs
1/3 cup water, milk or half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
Steps
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, water, salt and pepper with a fork or wire whisk until well mixed.
In a 10-inch skillet, heat the butter over medium heat just until it begins to sizzle and look hot.
Pour egg mixture into skillet. The egg mixture will become firm at the bottom and side very quickly. When this happens, gently lift the cooked portions around the edge with a turner so that the thin, uncooked portion can flow to the bottom. Avoid constant stirring because the eggs will become dry and rubbery rather than light and fluffy.
Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist and creamy. Serve immediately.

Easy Thick Fluffy Pancakes: In this instructable I will show you how to make thick fluffy pancakes that are incredibly easy to make. If I can make them, you can make them. Let's get started!
Step 1: Ingredients
Ingredients:
2 cups of all purpose flour
1 tsp of salt
2 Tbls of baking powder
3 Tbls of granulated sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 3/4 cup of milk
1/4 cup of melted butter
Tools:
Skillet
Kitchen spray
Whisk
Spatula
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
First we will combine our dry ingredients in a bowl. (Flour, baking powder, salt, sugar) Now let's mix them together using a whisk, or you can sift them together with a sifter if you like.
Step 3: Beat the Eggs
Now in a large bowl add your two eggs and beat them with a whisk or fork.
Step 4: Add Milk and Butter
Next we will add our milk and our melted butter, stirring in between each one, so it is all nice and mixed together.
Step 5: Add Flour Mixture
Now we just add our flour mixture a little bit at a time, I usually do about a 3rd of it, thin mix with the whisk, then a third, etc. This method helps keep the lumps from forming in the batter.
Step 6: Cook Those Pancakes Part One!
Now we cook our pancakes. It helps to have a nice hot skillet. So put your skilled on the stove top and set the temperature in between medium and medium high. Then spray the skillet with kitchen spray. Let it heat up for about 5 minutes. Now using a measuring cup (I use a 1/2 cup) scoop up some batter and pour it onto the skillet. If the batter is a little too thick, just add a bit of milk to thin it out. Let the batter cook for about 30 to 45 seconds, you will see little bubbles start to form, and the batter will raise a little. Go ahead and use your spatula and check under it to see how brown it is.
Step 7: Cook Those Pancakes Part 2
When you have a nice brown color, flip the pancake over to the other side. This side will take less time to cook. Again, check it after 20 seconds or so. Now you are done! Awesome thick fluffy pancakes.
