My dad always makes this
milk on cold winter nights.
It’s a yummy change from hot
chocolate and is extra-good as
a bedtime treat!

This was the first meal we had at Chestnut Hill
Farm. Mrs. Hudson gave us the recipe. I don’t know
why they call it Snowshoe Chicken, but the maple-
mustard sauce is really yummy!

Cooking Tips From The Chef Girls!

The Chef Girls are looking out for you!
Here are some things you should
know if you want to cook.
(Remember to ask your parents
if you can use knives and the stove!)
1. Tie back long hair so that it won’t get into the food or in the way as you work.
2. Don’t wear loose-fitting clothing that could drag in the food or on the stove burners.
3. Never cook in bare feet or open-toed shoes. Something sharp or hot could drop on your feet.
4. Always wash your hands before you handle food.
5. Read through the recipe before you start. Gather your ingredients together and measure them before you begin.
6. Turn pot handles in so that they won’t get knocked off the stove.
085
7. Use wooden spoons to stir hot liquids. Metal spoons can become very hot.
8. When cutting or peeling food, cut away from your hands.
086
9. Cut food on a cutting board, not the countertop.
087
10. Hand someone a knife with the knifepoint pointing to the floor.
11. Clean up as you go. It’s safer and neater.
12. Always use a dry pot holder to remove something hot from the oven. You could get burned with a wet one, since wet ones retain heat.

13. Make sure that any spills on the floor are cleaned up right away, so that you don’t slip and fall.
14. Don’t put knives in clean-up water. You could reach into the water and cut yourself.
15. Use a wire rack to cool hot baking dishes to avoid scorch marks on the countertop.
An Important Message from the Chef Girls!
Some foods can carry bacteria, such as
salmonella, that can make you sick.
To avoid salmonella, always cook poultry,
ground beef, and eggs thoroughly before eating.
Don’t eat or drink foods containing raw eggs.
And wash hands, kitchen work surfaces,
and utensils with soap and water immediately
after they have been in contact
with raw meat or poultry.
