Student cooking contest returns

The district's annual Future Chefs Challenge/Kids Can Cook Cooking Contest, sponsored by the Food Services Dept., is back!

 

District 4th - 6th grade students are invited to submit recipes for their favorite after-school snacks. The recipes, which must be submitted by Friday, December 2, do not have to be original. They can be family recipes or from cookbooks, the Internet, etc. Recipe submittal forms are available by clicking here or are at your student's school.

 

Student finalists will be selected from the submitted recipes and will be invited to prepare their creations at Glacier Peak High School. Families, teachers and principals will be invited to taste these culinary masterpieces at the January 26 event. A panel of judges will select the grand prize winners. Past award categories have included:

  • Health-conscious foods
  • Simple, kid-friendly preparation
  • Fun food
  • Judge’s choice

All finalists will receive a framed certificate, a recipe book of all of the finalists’ recipes, a chef’s coat, a chef’s hat, as well as a medal. Grand prize winners will receive an additional award.

 

Transportation will not be provided for the cook-off. Kids will need to be dropped off and picked up at Glacier Peak High School. In addition, students will be supervised by kitchen staff during the food production to help ensure that safe food practices are followed and that no one gets hurt.
