In keeping with Jamie Oliver’s "keep cooking skills alive" premise, the Toronto Food Rev Team joined forces tonight to teach a family fun cooking class. This was held at Sobeys test kitchen- a supermarket that Jamie Oliver partners with to bring better food to Canadians. The theme was sleepover party foods and we cooked up chicken tenders, granola and smoothies from none other than Jamie's recipes. It was so much fun getting the kids and parents excited to cook together in the kitchen.

Carol Harrison prepared a healthy yogurt dip with lovely fresh mint and lemon juice and encouraged the kids to use their sense of smell to enjoy their essence. She paired it with fresh cut vegetables and engaged in discussion about what other foods would complement as dippers. The dip doubled as a marinade for chicken breast strips in Jamie's Crunchy Chicken Pieces with Herby Yogurt Dip. After a thorough chicken demo by Mardi Michels, the kids were off to their stations.
