Youth Maker Mondays: Eat with Your Fingers (Ages 8-14)

Travel to Asia (through culinary experiences) and learn to make sushi with miso soup, spring rolls with peanut sauce, and shrimp wontons. You’ll receive hands-on experience while building skills in the kitchen. Each week you’ll gain knowledge of a different ethnic cuisine and get comfortable with creating dishes that maybe you've only dared to order in restaurants.

By the end of the three weeks, young chefs will have gained a knowledge of cuisines from three countries, and the skills and confidence to assist if not lead a meal at home or a gathering.
