Whip that cream!!

What a fantastic group of young cooks we have this week!  They’re polite, talented, considerate, and oh yeah, they can whip up cream puffs and chicken potpie like they were born to do it.  You’re going to love these pics:

We thought we’d take it easy the first day and test out the teens and tweens mad baking skills with pizza, cupcakes, and a bit of brioche dough to use later in the week for cinnamon rolls.  THIS is going to be an excellent week!

What do you have there Mollie? :)

On Thursday the teens were responsible for bringing in recipes to pitch to their groups, using the secret ingredient: The chicken or the egg.  But you can’t just plan, so we whipped up a basic yeast dough and made pizza too – BBQ Chicken and Taco pizza to be exact. As always, they did a great job, and I’m excited to see what they come up with on Friday. Woo hoo!

Moving the dough from the table to the tray. Great job!

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. :)

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!
