Défis CHEFS EN ACTION – Recipes
This free, ready-to-use initiative is designed for summer camps in Quebec that host children ages 4 to 12. This activity builds on the healthy eating habits learned at school, keeping the momentum going all summer long.
👨🏼🍳 WHAT IS THE DÉFI CHEFS EN ACTION?
It’s an activity in which day camps are invited to prepare a simple and original recipe with children. Every year, a new recipe is showcased!
This challenge is designed to inspire the pleasure of cooking in children, but also to expose them to:
• Canada’s Food Guide foods;
• Simple cooking techniques;
• A new recipe!
