NEW COOKBOOK OFFERS
DELICIOUS, EVERYDAY RECIPES FOR THE DEVELOPMENTALLY-CHALLENGED COMMUNITY OR ANY
YOUNG PERSON LEARNING TO COOK
In her 11 years of experience working with special education students,
Beverly Worth Palomba has found that developmentally-challenged individuals
require certain teaching strategies. After developing a culinary arts class for
her special needs students, she found there wasn’t a cookbook on the market that
enforced these critical teaching methods. As a result, Palomba decided to fill
that void and created Special Day
Cooking: A Life Skills Cookbook.Geared not only toward those with autism, down syndrome, ADHD, ADD, and other developmental and learning disabilities, but young people with a desire to learn to cook as well, the recipes inSpecial Day Cooking are supported by a proven approach to cooking that show great success. All recipes are in large type, and are formatted in consistent, easy-to-follow steps for all skill levels. They are safe -- needing only a microwave, toaster or blender and a plastic knife to cook, and sometimes no equipment at all -- and can all be completed in one hour or less.
“Whether a person is living at home, in a group home or have their own apartment, cooking is a very important life skill and one that’s needed every day,” shares Palomba. “We want our children to be as independent as they can be, and sharing a recipe with family or friends makes you feel great. Up goes your self-esteem and self-confidence!”
Including more than 60 recipes, Special Day Cooking goes beyond cooking skills to teach life skills including:
- Knowledge to promote independent living
- Working together and fostering teamwork
- Self-confidence and building self-esteem
- Bonding with family and friends in the kitchen
- Strengthens motor skills
- And so much more!
