REND LAKE COLLEGE (WSIL) -- Kids are learning the basics of cooking this week at Rend Lake College. Bertie Ham's Chefs of Tomorrow are busy cooking every morning until noon. Each day is a new culinary adventure. They teach kids the different meals they can make themselves. Monday, was geared toward breakfast-with pancakes and sausage.
Culinary Instructor Jeff Fairbanks says the recipes are different every year. He tells News 3, kids are always excited to show off their work to their parents.
"Their parents aren't here with them while they're at the camp. We made Fettucini Alfredo from scratch on the stove. She boxed it up to take it home, and when her mother walked in, she said, 'Look Mommy. I made Fettucini Alfredo, and it's not out of a box!' So yeah, it's something they take a lot of pride in what they do." said Culinary Instructor, Chef Jeff Fairbanks.
Tuesday the students will learn lunch. and they'll build their own taco bar. Later this week, they'll learn dinner and then dessert.
