Recently, members of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) were in San Francisco for the annual conference. Every year, the Kids in the Kitchen section does a workshop with local children to inspire them to cook and eat healthy foods. I was the co-chair for this section for two years, but ever since I returned to classroom teaching two years ago, I have been admiring their work from a distance. Fortunately for me, the San Francisco conference was close to home, and...
IACP Kids-in-the-Kitchen has teamed up with Green Ribbon Schools & DooF ('food' backwards) to host an exciting online culinary education project for kids ages 5-18. Joining the fun in our IACP Kids' Digital DIY Kitchen is easy – and there are lots of great prizes!
Here's all kids need to do:
Choose a food you'd normally buy in a store or order in a restaurant, then try to make it yourself.
Tell us about your kitchen adventure (in words, photos and/or video).
Share the fun with...
When planning our cooking summer camp, I wanted the students to be able to showcase their new culinary skills and confidence. We decided that an Iron Chef Challenge on the final day would be just the strategy.
The kids selected their own teams, evaluated the ingredients we had on hand, and then planned their menus. After approval from me, they began to prepare their food. The grand finale was their "camera challenge" where they had to present their dishes to the rest of the class, some guest...
Today, our summer camp students created a delicious menu from the Mediterranean. I must confess, there is nothing quite as sweet as hearing 14 students begging for seconds of Falafel!

Special Menu of the Day: Nóstima Noshes:
("Nóstima" translates to "delicious" in Greek, the theme of today's class)
A Waffle is for Breakfast…but a Falafel is for any other meal.

During the first day of this summer’s cooking camp, my students thought that our food was “awesome enough” for us to open a restaurant. So, we decided to capture the experience and share it with you.
They called our restaurant the Kehillah Café, to honor the name of our camp.
Here is our Menu of the day…Written in the words of 14 students, in 3rd – 5th grades… (This was quite the exercise in food writing and the use of synonyms and adjectives!)

My mom loves to surprise us with fun gifts for our family kitchen. And as much as we love to receive these gifts, I think it thrills her equally to hear about our adventures in the kitchen using them together. So, today's post is dedicated to her. Thanks, mama, for our new Zoku!
As I was browsing through the pages of my recent issue of Cooking Light magazine, this pudding pop recipe caught my eye. I thought it would be perfect to try in our new gizmo - and yowza - it was awesome!

My son and I haven't been getting along very well lately. In fact, I have been pondering a post sharing some of our struggles - but I am not sure if it would betray him or his right to privacy. At the same time, it might be useful to any of you out in cyberspace experiencing challenges raising your kids - especially to know you are not alone.
But this is not that post. Instead, this is a mostly a photo essay, showing how we spent our afternoon today. We bonded. Over dessert. And it was...
After their shopping trip to the farmer's market, the middle schoolers at Star Academy were excited for our cooking class together. And after worrying a bit about eating kale, they devoured our meal with gusto!
Now that we had the ingredients, we had to prepare them and cook them up. We walked down to the Star Academy Kitchen and we started cooking. We had an amazing day cooking our creations and eating them. We tore off Dinosaur Kale leaves and then we massaged the dinosaur kale...
It never ceases to amaze me how much filler and junk is included in pet foods. I don't know about you, but I'm not so sure that I'd like my pets to be eating ground up feathers or other random inedible animal parts.
One of the best parts about cooking with kids is that you can learn about ingredients together. When I was little, I used to tease my mom for reading all of our food labels. I figured that if we wanted to eat something, we should just buy it. But she knew better. (Did...
Many thanks to Katy for this installment of What's Cooking with YOUR Kids - a series where we share your stories about kids in the kitchen.
If you've ever read my blog, it should come as no surprise to you that I enjoy cooking with my kids. I've always loved cooking, but cooking with your children is a completely different experience.
I started letting the Munchkin help out in the kitchen because he wanted to, not because I was pushing him to get in the kitchen. He saw me cook often, and...
