Future Chefs Challenge Thursday at Glacier Peak | Events

Thursday is a big day for 21 fourth, fifth and sixth graders in the Snohomish School District, as they get to show off their cooking skills.

The annual "Future Chefs Challenge/Kids Can Cook" event will be taking place Thursday afternoon at Glacier Peak High School. Kids from schools around the district will be putting together their special recipes with the help of GPHS culinary students for the judges that will sample all of the creations and decide on a winner.

In the past, there have been awards for fun food, healthy choices, simple, kid-friendly preparation and "judge's choice".

All 21 will get a framed certificate, a cookbook that includes their recipe, a chef's coat and hat and a medal. The winner will receive extra prizes, as well.

After the judging, those in attendance will be able to sample all of the 21 dishes.
