Teaching opportunities for Project READ students

Are you an English-language student in the Project READ program? Do you like to cook? If the answer is "yes" to both questions, then read on...

I'm a retired professor and a Project READ volunteer tutor (more about me). I have been teaching a series of ethnic cooking classes at Urbana Park District since 2022. I'm seeking local amateur home cooks who want to share their personal recipes to join me as a "guest chef" and co-teach a hands-on ethnic cooking class. These small interactive classes are taught in the James Room demonstration kitchen at Phillips Recreation Center in Urbana. Our classes usually have 12 students, are taught in the evening, and last about two hours. I will be your "sous chef" and assist you in the kitchen and provide language support. 

Here's your opportunity to:

• Practice your newly acquired English language skills in a classroom environment
• Share your favorite recipes from your own country
• Teach local community members about your culture and food traditions in a small intimate environment
• $75 honorarium available

Please contact Paul Young <paul@cooking-with-paul.com> for more information. Let's have some fun and cook up a storm. 

More information about my cooking classes and pop-up events can always be found on my website, where you'll also find over 150 recipes from my classes (no ads!). You can also subscribe to my email newsletter or follow me on Instagram or Facebook and like my posts. Bon appétit!
