Jr. Chef Culinary Skills Challenge!

Our Jr. Chef's took part in the Nutrition Fuels Fitness 5k/10k Fun Run yesterday morning at the Elk Grove Park. 8 members of the team manned an information booth, then they split into 2 teams of 4 and took to the stage to show off their knife skills! They had a total of 10 minutes to cut, slice, julienne, dice an assortment of fruits and vegetables and display them on a platter. Safety was first, technique and consistency of size and cut were the key.
Each group made their own banner 'table skirt', then team members choose their favorite Wusthoff knife and the produce they wanted to tackle. It was a fun time for all, with an appreciative audience and kids of all ages wanting to learn more.
