It was one of those programs that really empowers kids to learn culinary skills and techniques, like how to properly prepare foods, safely chop ingredients, and sauté vegetables.

He learned multiple new recipes every day—foods like gumbo, jambalaya, soft pretzels, pizza, and cheesecake (his favorite ESF Vetri recipe). The camp sparked something in him and cooking has become his passion.”
