Class Description:
Once you register your young chefs (ages 9-14) for this interactive 3-day cooking camp, you can send them on their way to this culinary trip across America. Experienced culinary instructor and award-winning BBQ competitor Bruce Campbell will teach them how about three uniquely different American Regional Cuisines: Southern Cuisine (including Cajun and Creole among other American Southern styles), Hawaiian & Pacific Island Cuisine, and finger lickin’ Midwest Kansas City Barbecue styles. In addition to making and eating some delicious food, kids will learn fundamental cooking skills and take home recipes so they can do it all over again at home! This is a super fun 3-day summer camp experience that can’t be found elsewhere.

Day #1: Southern Cooking
Today we study flavor! We'll start with seasonings and how to mix them. The kids will take home their very own customized seasoning mix. Then we'll dig deep into the Cajun/Creole world of New Orleans with Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya, Shrimp Po-Boy Sammies and we'll even make the iconic Bread Pudding with a Sweet Butter Sauce. And your kids will get to take home their own seasoning mix. Ooo La Wee!

Day #2: Hawaiian & Pacific Island Cuisine
We don't know what will be more fun... cooking foods like Huli Huli Chicken or saying the recipe name! The kids will learn how to work with the ingredients indigenous to Hawaii and other Pacific Islands. There will even be a kid-friendly drink that features pineapple! Aloha kakahiaka Junior Chefs and a fun cooking session!

Day #3: BBQ KC-Style
Kids in Kansas City don't know what it's like to not have choices when it comes to fantastic BBQ foods right? It's an absolute must that they carry on the local traditions to the next generation. Today it's about grilling fundamentals: how to make BBQ Rubs and BBQ Sauces, and of course how to grill meats, vegetables and even dessert! Clear a shelf at home for all the competition BBQ awards that these kids will mop up as they grow up! Long live BBQ!
