Ponte Vedra FL. (February 2020) The Womens Food Alliance is hosting the 3rd Annual “Kids in the Kitchen Cooking Contest” for children 8 years – 12 years of age with culinary prizes that they can share with their family IF they come up with a tasty and unique family recipe! Kids love to be in the kitchen ~ and making a favorite family dessert recipe is a great way to launch their creativity by cooking something yummy for their family.
When children are in the kitchen, they surprisingly learn to express their individuality and curiosity about food ~ plus they learn a little more about math, science, reading and love! Cooking something for the family grows independence while possibly inspiring youngsters to eat healthier too.
