Will. U. Be. The Next Essen Kinder Cook?

Teen Week kicked off our "Potpourri" themed summer of kids' cooking camps. We cooked. We laughed. We spilled. We cleaned up. We ate. And we ate some more.

New this year was an "Essen Chef Cooking Challenge." The first few days of the 5-day camp focused on specific techniques and categories of food, including things you spread and dip, dough, comfort foods and special occasion meals. The final day brought it all together with a team challenge to develop a menu and prepare a sandwich, a side dish and a dessert. Both teams accepted the challenge and cooked above and beyond their wildest dreams. We can't wait to see what the young cooks come up with in July and August. YUM!
