All my kids are very interested in cooking and creating. I know I can breathe a sigh of relief when FishPapa says, “Chef Mama, it looks like you’re going to the next round.” Oy! Everyone’s a critic….Ī few months ago we started talking about “playing Chopped” at home. You would think that they have a direct line to Ted Allen, Aaron Sanchez, Alex Guarnaschelli, and the other Chopped judges. Everyone takes a turn giving feedback at dinner. It’s a running joke at our house to put ME through the Chopped judging system when I “present” a recipe that I’m testing. Not all seasons are available, but enough that the kids can watch a program whenever there’s TV time. Though we no longer have cable, they are able to watch it via Amazon Prime Instant Video. They’ve been watching it from time to time ever since we moved back to California five years ago. The littles love the Food Network TV program, Chopped. Want to give your children some practical kitchen skills and a sense of independence and accomplishment? Play a game of Chopped - for kids.
