It’s a joy teaching young kids to cook, the only thing better is seeing their joy doing it. And the public school kids I teach are no Top Chef teens– they’re practically babies, first and second graders! I talk and show, they do.
They’ve learned to mince, dice, saute, deglaze and caramelize. Learned about ethnic cuisines. Sustainability. I’ve learned patience, flexibility– and the humility of handling a roomful kids, always hungry to eat, and to cook.
