A group of about a dozen children participated last Tuesday, June 11 in the Kids in the Kitchen cooking class hosted at the Sundre Royal Canadian Legion Branch #223 and organized through Greenwood Neighbourhood Place.
Under the direction of certified chef Cal Werezak, who earned a Red Seal from SAIT’s culinary program, the kids cooked up some Louisiana style fried chicken with herbed baked potatoes and corn on the cob on the side.
The program, which provides youth between the ages of 10 and 15 with a safe environment to become more familiar and confident in the kitchen, has proved popular, with other children frequently being placed on a waiting list, and will resume again in September following the summer break.
