Kitchen Science and Kitchen Math >>>Homework that taste good by Chef Pharrell

Chef Pharrell assists Jr. Chefs with cooking classes

Jr. Chefs practicing measuring skills

Cooking can teach or reinforce basic math and science concepts in a fun and practical way. Giving us the opportunity to show students that what they are learning in school is real and relevant in daily life.

Homework that Tastes Good!

Who doesn’t love fruit juice ice pops? A couple of ice pop molds, Dixie cups (or even plain old ice cube trays) will work perfectly for this recipe. Try recipes that incorporate crushed fruit, milk and yogurt too. Here is a simple recipe to try with your Jr. Chef. They can substitute their favorite kiwi, mango, strawberries, peaches, pineapple, banana, orange juice instead of the melon

Kitchen science experiments are tasty ways to reinforce basic facts like how liquid freezes into solids and what is solubility? All while practice reading and measuring skills.

Frozen Fruit Pops

Ingredients:

Simple Syrup with Limes

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

1 cup fresh lime juice

6 cups of water

Popsicles:

1 1/2 cups homemade limeade simple syrup

1 1/2 cups frozen cherries or other frozen fruit

6 5oz Dixie cups

Foil Squares

6 sticks

Instructions:

In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat gently over medium high heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and pour into a heat proof bowl to cool. Add the lime juice and place in the refrigerator until chilled.

Prepare Dixie cups by cutting foil into squares to cover the tops of the cups. Gather sticks, one for each cup. There should be enough to fill 6 5oz cups.

When the syrup is chilled pour 1 1/2 cups into a blender add frozen cherries. Puree until smooth.

Pour evenly into the Dixie cups and cover with the foil. Make a very small cut in the top in the center and place a stick into the cut.

Freeze the cups until the filling is frozen solid. Tear away the paper when ready to eat.

Peel away the paper and enjoy!

Teaching Kids to Cook by Chef Pharrell

“Why should kids learn to cook?”

(Besides being lots of fun)

1. Cooking activitiees help kids make Healthy Food Choices -

Learning to cook helps kids to learn about nutrition and healthy eating. Fun recipes and experiences introduce kids to great habits that can last a lifetime.

2. Boost their Self Esteem. If your child needs a boost of self confidence, (and who doesn't!) cooking in the kitchen will do just that. They are accomplishing a task, learning something important and contributing to the family.

3. Kids will be more apt to eat what they make. Perhaps, it is the enthusiasm that goes along with creating something themselves; but they are more likely to eat whatever

decide to cook and prepare. And more so if they prepare it for family or friends.

4. Kids learn life skills. Science, Language, Math and

Creativity- Cooking will help reinforce all these subjects! This can be especially helpful when kids are growing up and first out on their own. They won't have to rely on fast food and junk food to sustain them.

5. Kids get to practice creativity and use their imagination. Kids cooking activities are a great way to express

themselves and enjoy their creations, away from the television and the phone.
