MARCH 16, 2017 // 17 Kids can learn to cook at spring break day camp ASTORIA — North Coast Food Web brings back its Kids Cooking Camp from March 27 to 31 for Asto- ria Public Schools’ spring break. This hands-on cooking series for children ages 7 and older teaches ba- sic kitchen skills through preparing delicious, healthy, made-from-scratch menus. Over the course of the week, students will cook everything from re-envi- sioned classics like peanut butter and jelly smoothies made with real fruits to zucchini pizza with freshly created ricotta cheese. “Separating the curds and whey is like a science project that the students love,” said Wendy D’Agos- tino, NCFW Kitchen Coor- dinator and camp chef. NCFW aims to make the camp fun while helping teach children about healthy eating choices. “Being the chef often leaves kids willing to try something they thought they didn’t like,” said D’Agostino. Class runs each day from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and in- cludes a morning snack and lunch that students prepare.
