Junior Chefs Cooking Workshop

Are your child’s cooking skills limited to a microwave? Do you wish they could prepare simple and healthy foods for themselves and the family? The Family & Community Health Sciences Department of Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County is pleased to offer a new and creative program, Junior Chefs Cooking Workshop, Saturdays, Oct. 20 and 27, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for 6 - 8 graders.

Join us to learn new skills, be creative, taste test and have fun! Kids will learn to prepare a variety of foods including snacks. This is a pilot project that will incorporate nutrition education with hands-on food preparation lessons to encourage a lifetime of healthy eating habits. We are looking forward to exciting mornings of cooking fun!
