Kids in the Kitchen, December: Chopped Junior
Kids in the Kitchen students will enjoy multiple colorful and creative hands-on culinary experiences. All while learning skills they can share with their family and friends.
Back again by popular request...
Inspired by the famous TV show on the Food Network, and under the guidance & help of our in-house nutritionists and culinary educator, Mrs. Jess... We are improvising with creativity, "Chopped" style!
Kiddos love mystery and playing with their food. So we are encouraging uniqueness and stepping out of their comfort zone while practicing kitchen safety and how to clean as they go. But first... our student guests will start class off with a build-your-own style lunch to fill their bellies before jumping into all of that creativity.
From savory to sweet, students will team up, collaborate, and get creative. Making unique dishes out of our mystery-basket ingredients. Preparing kiddos for real life by teaching young inspiring chefs how to work with what's available, what's fresh and in season at the time, quick thinking and adaptability.
After students have hand crafted their unique dishes, we'll have a couple of fun "judges" ready to sample, ask question, and present awards.
So leave the creativity and cleanup to us as your inspiring chefs enjoy a fun and creative class designed for kiddos who love to cook!
