We are looking forward to spring in the kitchen at WTF. Chef Kathleen Benson, of Culinary Kids, will be back in Tim’s Kitchen with fresh and seasonal meals for younger kids, Grades K-2, to create and enjoy. As the gardens begin to sprout, we will enjoy taking a trip out to see what is available for us to use in our cooking and baking. In class, our young chefs are introduced to a variety of sweet and savory seasonal foods and will learn hands-on culinary skills such as safe cutting, chopping, dicing, as well as food science, measuring, and baking, but developing a sense of seasonal eating.
