ITK (In The Kitchen) Culinary

Because each state has their own particular flavors, tastes and influences, we will delve into a week of cooking that will present the diversity and the creativity of what makes each state and its official food, so amazing, not to mention the pride each state has for their culinary preferences! This hands-on cooking camp will enable kids to find their inner chef. The Culinary Dude, Scott Davis has worked with ITK (In The Kitchen) to create a wonderful collection of daily menus that the kids will cook themselves. Using the freshest ingredients, fun and interactive cooking techniques, the kids will prepare lunch from scratch each day as they learn kitchen and food safety, professional kitchen behavior, measuring and prep skills, and table etiquette. In addition to a wide variety of hands-on, tactile recipes, kids will participate in additional food-related activities. Each day the kids will cook and eat lunch together.
