What Our Chefs Have to Say

The best part of the cooking class today was when I introduced the special ingredient as artichokes. One kid asked very seriously, "What if I don't eat vegetables?" to which I replied, "Let's just wait and see if you eat them in the ravioli we make." After he had gobbled up all of his ravioli at the end of class, I asked him, "So how were those vegetables?" He smiled bashfully and said, "They were pretty great!"
Chef Ariel, Texas
I love sharing my passion for cooking (and eating) with my Sticky Fingers students! There is nothing better than the look of pride on a child's face when they taste a dish they just made and discover how delicious it is. It is amazing what the pickiest eater will try if they had a hand in making it: Tofu Picatta, Watermelon Poke, Kale Ravioli. My heart melts when they ask if they can eat some raw kale!
