The 1st culinary kits include:
- Ingredients
- Three Recipe Cards
- Access to virtual cooking demonstrations
- 1 Kid Safety Knife
- 1 Cutting Board
- Goodies from Whataburger
The program is for kids ages 5 to 13 years old and has graduated 1,500 young chefs so far.
Registration for the program is openhere and will stay open until all 100 slots are filled.
