This multi-week series is designed to bring out the creative chef in every child. Through hands-on activities, kids will explore the science, technology, engineering, art and math involved in creating delicious, homemade meals and baked goods. From dissecting a cauliflower to baking cookies or preparing pizzas from dough made from scratch, children will "relish" in the sensory and creative experience of cooking. Through this hands-on approach to food, kids will gain a better understanding of how things work in the kitchen, and how to make healthy choices knowing more about food prep and sourcing ingredients.
