Passport Kitchen is a 4-H initiative to open up the minds of our youth to global opportunities without having to leave our own kitchens. UK has provided recipes for 6 different countries along with interesting facts and tutorials.

Robertson County has put it's own positive spin on the program. We offer this as an in-person monthly program with each encounter being a new country. 

Mexico was our first stop. We watched a National Geographic for Kids video on Mexico and learned about the culture and what the youth in this country like to do for fun. After the video we dined on coconut candy and red chili candies and tasted Jarritos which is a carbonated drink. While eating our snacks we worked on corn husks dolls which are a traditional toy from the area. After that we headed into the kitchen to prepare the street corn dish that was in the passport packet. 

When the travelers finished the class they left with their very own passport packet with a recipe they were familiar with so they could prepare it for their families. 

Brazil was also a wonderful experience. Our snacks consisted of Brazilian cookies and pulpy Brazilian fruit drinks, a bird nest craft, Brazil Bingo full of some amazing facts one of them being the Brazil is the largest meat producer in South America! After learning all about Brazil we ventured into the kitchen to work on our Brazilian Cheese Bread. 

Passport Kitchen is also teaching our travelers about sanitation methods in the kitchen, knife skills and stove and oven safety. 

Our next locations are India, South Africa, Laos, and Germany.
