On February 5^th, despite the Covid 19 pandemic and a major snowstorm, the The Peck School 7^th grade students and their advisors did not disappoint!  They delivered boxes of cooking ingredients to participating families in advance of the scheduled Zoom potato-gnocchi-themed cooking class. Every detail was well executed from artfully decorated placemats to an entertaining musical presentation on the ABCs of pasta shapes. Shop Rite’s virtual cooking team took aspiring cooks through a step-by-step demonstration of potato dough preparation, concluding with a delicious cannoli dip dessert.
