Chef CC Consalvo Makes Frittata with Mr. Jacob's 4th Grade Class

Yesterday, CC Consalvo taught the 4th graders how to make a vegetable frittata. We used organic vegetables and eggs donated by Gelson's.  CC is a personal holistic chef that lives in Pacific Palisades.

She explained that a frittata is an Italian item, like an open-faced omelet.

The children participated in all aspects of the meal preparation. First they cut the red and yellow peppers and broccoli into small pieces. These were added to the butter and olive oil in the electric skillet and cooked until soft. They also participated in wisking the eggs. (We used 2 dozen for this group of 30.) After the eggs were added to the skillet they were carefully pushed around. The egg mixture was cooked until it was lightly brown on the bottom and firm to the touch.

We attempt to make the cooking experience as sustainable as possible. We reuse IKEA plates and plastic knives and forks. We also compost the vegetable scraps and egg shells.

The children enjoyed eating the result! This is something that they can try at home.

Thanks to Natalia Becir, Maggie Powers and Nona for volunteering.
