Young ‘Future Chefs’ compete for honors

Elementary student finalists from the Washougal and Camas school districts came to Washougal High School to compete in the Future Chefs Culinary Contest sponsored by Sodexo on Friday, March 6.

“While healthy eating can be a challenge for kids and parents, we challenged elementary school students to use their creativity and culinary skills to create healthy, after-school snack recipes as a part of Sodexo’s 2015 event,” said Mark Jasper, Washougal’s nutrition services director. “This national initiative was created to get students thinking about making healthy food choices while also encouraging them to get active and creative in the kitchen.”
