Jr. Chefs of America
Jr Chefs of America
Do you have kids who love to cook, or think they might like to give it a try? Here’s a new concept that some claim is providing more family time by helping the kids to fall in love with meal preparation! Rachel, pictured above, is one of the Jr Chefs, whose favorite kitchen gadget is a meat pounder!
The revolution has begun as kids are moving their parents out of the kitchen to prepare delicious and healthier meals themselves with the new web based series, “Jr. Chefs of America”. The first kids cooking program created for kids, hosted by real kids who LOVE to cook is teaching parents and kids how to create fresh home cooked meals as an alternative to the fast food nation that is largely responsible for childhood obesity.
More information on Jr Chefs of America, including the TV show schedule and kid-tested recipes, can be found at their website. Below is a sample recipe from the website, called Crazy Queso:
