The contest will not only let kids get familiarized with the kitchen, but teach them some basic and moral principles one could learn from cooking.

The ingredients were cucumbers, chives, goat cheese and black raspberries. My 10 and 12 year old have become HUGE fans of the show, as has my 4 year old, who just named his new stuffed animal Ted after Ted Allen. For the competition, my son made a salad with mixed greens, pears, Granny Smiths and berries with a berry/chive vinaigrette (from a ChopChop recipe!) My daughter made SunGold tomatoes stuffed with chive goat cheese and quick-pickled cucumbers with raspberry drizzle. Then they wanted a Chopped After Hours (you can see the real ones online) where the judges cook using the same basket; I made goat cheese and chive timbales (!) with berry/chili sauce and tart cucumber salad. I am SO GRATEFUL for this awesome idea! They're already asking when they get to do a Dessert Round.

"Step 4: Cook a dish that makes a statement." The badge requirement is to cook something with a veggie protein. Hooray for tofu!<br /><br />We couldn't get any parents to volunteer their kitchen, so we are doing a camping version in my co-leader's backyard. Foil packets on charcoal and camp stove one-pots...

I once had to make an "appetizer" out of assorted left-over easter candy, pudding and mandarin oranges. I'm now inspired to brave the consequences of letting my kids to do the creating.
