Jr. Chefs of America
Jr. Chefs of America (JCOA) is a web-based show created for kids, hosted by kids, that encourages young chefs to start cooking fresh, home-cooked meals for themselves. By challenging the notion that kids can’t navigate the kitchen on their own and emphasizing safety first, JCOA hopes to inspire a new generation of smart eaters and build parents’ confidence about their children’s skills in the kitchen.
JCOA uses creative and fresh cooking elements and recipes to introduce kids to the world of culinary arts. The website is filled with useful tips and tricks, and each episode endeavors to teach kids how to properly and safely prepare quick and delicious recipes like “Kickin’ Chicken”, “Veggie Wraps” and “Party Pizza.” Chefs Rachel, Chessie, Stephanie and Thomas lead the way, but young cooks are encouraged to submit their own “webisode” to be featured on the site!
Check out the Jr. Chefs of America website and get cooking!
