Welcome to Camp Cook

Founded in 2005, Camp Cook is an exciting adventure for all ages. Our mission is simply to make a difference by helping people connect via the kitchen. We invite you to join us for your next BIG cooking adventure!

Our Love For The Kitchen!

The kitchen is a powerful and sacred place. Not only do we nurture our most basic needs via the kitchen, but we have tremendous opportunity to connect and build upon our most valued relationships.

Cooking Enhances Essential Life Skills

Did you know through the process of cooking we hone our skills in reading, math, science, problem solving, socialization, negotiation, task completion, and presentation? The kitchen is an excellent connection point for people to have great conversation, work together, and learn about each other while accomplishing a common goal. How exciting to know that learning to cook and working together in the kitchen contributes to the development of so many essential life skills!

  • Pork & Ginger Wontons w/Chinese Brocolli Slaw.

    Utensils:

    Mixing bowl
    Measuring cups and spoons
    Wooden spoon
    Large sheet parchment paper for wonton work surface
    Saute pan
    Small liquid measuring cup with water
    Pastry brush

    Ingredients:  Pork & Ginger Wontons

    • 12 wonton wrappers
    • 1 cup Napa cabbage, chopped and salted
    • 1/4 tablespoon salt
    • 1/4 pound ground pork (not lean)
    • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons seasame oil
    • 2 tablespoons egg beaters
    • 1 cup chicken stock
    • Seasame oil
    1. Combine all ingredients, except chicken stock and wonton wrappers into mixing bowl.  Mix thoroughly to combine.
    2. Layout wonton wrappers on work surface.  Make sure they aren't over lapping. Place a small amount of filling in the middle of the wrapper. Lightly brush edges with water and up to the filling.  Fold the wrapper in half to form a half moon shape. Pinch edges tightly together.
    3. In a hot saute pan coated with seasame oil place wontons into pan and cook until the bottom is browned. Add chicken stock, being careful not to get burned as the liquid will splatter.  Cover pan with lid.  Check in 5 minutes.  Once the wontons are firm and fully cooked the stock will have evaproated and the bottoms crisped up.
    4. ENJOY!  Makes 12 wontons.  Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and brocolli slaw.
