Young Chefs is an organization that uses hands-on cooking education to empower the next generation with culinary skills and scientific knowledge. They develop free open-access lesson plans and teaching resources for cooking-science education, and support educators to implement our curriculum in diverse programs across the globe.
Specifically, we aim to:
- Engage students with scientific concepts and methods across the physical and life sciences.
- Empower students with tangible culinary skills and knowledge to foster healthy relationships with food.
- Develop science-cooking curriculum and teaching resources for educators to use in communities across the globe.
On this site, you’ll find lesson plans for instructor use, in addition to a number of recipes for an academic or home setting, all of which have been successfully tested with youth ranging from elementary school to high school. Please feel free to click around, and watch this space for new updates on Young Chefs. We are continuously updating our website and resources!
