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.
