Chopped Challenge

Author: Alethea Price

Planning Unit: Boyle County CES

Major Program: Food Preparation and Preservation

Plan of Work: Acquisition of Life Skills

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Boyle County FCS and 4-H teamed up to offer a hands on cooking experience for kids 9-17 called the Chopped Challenge. We used this program to help educate kids on the fundamentals of cooking and food safety as well as recruiting members for a cooking competition team. 

Participants developed knife skills, reading a recipe, measuring, food safety, and other cooking techniques. They also practiced working as a team while trying to prepare a recipe none of them have tried before.
