MYSTERY INGREDIENT CHALLENGE!
What started out as a take-home program for 4-8th grade age kids during the pandemic, turned into an annual event.
The Mystery Ingredient Challenge takes place each year during winter break.
Student chefs pick up a bag of 4 mystery ingredients and have a week to create a dish. They have to incorporate all 4 ingredients into an original recipe. They can, if they want to, supplement their recipes with items from home too.
(We always offer to help with that by giving a grocery store gift card to anyone who needs it, no questions asked. We want everyone who wants to join in to feel welcome to do so!)
