In addition to sessions on Nutrition, Seasonal Eating, Recipe Preparation, Knife Skills, Dining Etiquette and Food Presentation, participants took part in ‘hand’s on’ cooking sessions taught by Master & Elite Jr. Chefs, top chefs and professional culinary instructors from Sacramento and throughout California.
Once again, teams of trained Jr. Chef’s will compete in our Iron Chef style Culinary Competition!

Complimentary mini-sessions for parents providing an overview of the information presented in the classes their children attend. Whether demonstrating the knife safety techniques their children have learned and practiced, or discussing the positive health benefits of the seasonally based recipes the kids have prepared, we’ll arm parents with tools to support their child’s nutritional and culinary goals at home.
