• We focus on weights, measures, ingredients and their uses, how to use tools and utensils, how to interpret and follow a recipe, basic cooking skills, basic table setting and service, basic manners, food safety 101, and kitchen safety 101. 
• Our TOP CHEF participants learn and experience teamwork, budgeting, shopping, recipe creation, presentation and friendly competition.
