How The Boys Cooking Club Started

In 2010, a 10 year old boy had a great idea to share a passion of cooking with his friends. He wanted to start a club where they could learn about food, cooking and have a fun time together. He invited his friends and they started meeting once a week at his house.
They have learned many things about food (nutrition, different ways to cook eggs, etc..), had some contests (Junior Iron Chef, making meals at home), and had some fun adventures, (like cooking over a campfire and in a dutch oven).

In March 2012 it will be two years since this club was started, and they are still going strong!!

Bon Apetit, Junior Chefs!

Italiano!





This week we went for something Italian.
Panini are small, filled, bread rolls, which are sometimes toasted. They are Italian in origin, but now found in other countries. In the USA, UK and Canada, the term "panini" refers to any pressed and toasted sandwich; there is widespread availability and use of sandwich presses,, often known as "panini presses" or "toasted sandwich makers".
Today we made our sandwiches with sliced white bread, bacon, cheese (pepper jack &/or colby jack), tomatos, onions and mustard, Mayo or Miricle Whip. Each boy assembled their own sandwhich with what he liked on it, then lightly buttered the out sides of the bread and put it in the George Forman grill for three minutes. The sandwiches came out gooey and melted on the inside and nicely crisped on the outside.
As an addition to our international theme, the boys played RISK while they ate their sandwiches:)
