Kids’ Test Kitchen is on a mission to inspire healthy eaters and redefine kid food by providing students the opportunity to cook, taste, and then teach their families about nutrient-dense foods. Aspiring chefs meet and work as a team to prepare fun snacks, entrées, and side items whose key ingredients are known to be really healthy for us! Some of the ingredients we’ve cooked with include Swiss chard, avocado, bananas, artichokes, spaghetti squash, watermelon, and more.

Even the most reluctant eaters enjoy Kids’ Test Kitchen, where participation is encouraged, and the choice to taste is always one’s own. Lessons are planned to celebrate seasonal produce, whole grains, and legumes.

Kids have food allergies, but they shouldn’t miss out on the fun. We know allergies and can work around them, making sure that everyone is having fun and staying safe.
