Iron Chef: Basics Baking

Chicken potpie with homemade herb crust and technicolor cupcakes topped the menu on Wednesday at Iron Chef camp.  Plus, the secret ingredient(s) was revealed for Friday’s competition: the chicken and the egg.  Can’t wait to see what recipes these teens bring in today!

Culinary World Tour: Mexico!

What kid doesn’t like a churro?  These guys sure do!  With a quick trip south of the border, these kids whipped up fajitas, churros, roasted corn salsa, and more!

We used yellow peppers in our fajitas. :)

Iron Chef: Saute & Pasta

These Iron Chef Teens are terrific!  Not only can they now dismantle a chicken, but they can totally whip up their own pasta, ricotta cheese, and chicken Parmesan in a snap.  Later today (Wednesday), we’ll announce the secret ingredient for their “battle” on Friday…they can’t wait!

Culinary World Tour: Spain & The Netherlands

We had to make a small change to our schedule this week to include a little World Cup awesomeness, didn’t we??  In trying to keep things current, our morning camp whipped up a little paella, Crema Catalana, Tostada de Ajo, and a Dutch Baby (the kind you eat, that is!).

Iron Chef Camp: Knife Skills

Ever hand a group of teenagers whole chickens and have them cut them apart? I have!  One table was totally grossed out, the other into those birds up to their elbows!
