On Saturday, May 22, more than 200 young people ages 10-15 will again come together to share their common interest in cooking at the 2nd Annual Jr. Chef Kids Culinary Conference in Bermuda! The only event of its kind in the world, the Kids Culinary Conference promotes the practice and importance of making healthy food choices.
Presented in a kid-focused environment, these sessions are designed to:
• Help kids make smart food choices
• Teach them independence and self-sufficiency
• Build their confidence
• Advance their culinary knowledge
Teaching kids to make healthier lifestyle choices for themselves and, by extension, their families; while focusing on the common denominator of food to bridge cultural, social and economic divides among young people.
