Kirbyville Wildcat 4-H
Food Challenge
More than 100,000 youth participate in the 4-H Food & Nutrition Project, learning how to prepare nutritious and safe meals and snacks and adopt behaviors that can help reduce their risk for chronic disease. This contest challenges teams of 4-H members to create a dish using only a predetermined set of ingredients. From these ingredients, team members must identify and prepare the dish, then make a presentation about it to the judges.
OBJECTIVES
• Provide opportunities for participants to exhibit their knowledge and skill when preparing and presenting a dish
• Provide opportunities for participants to learn from other team members
• Promote teamwork
• Give participants opportunities for public speaking
• Provide leadership opportunities
Food Challenge
At the Food Challenge, teams of 3-4 students receive a list of ingredients and have 40 minutes to create a dish. The teams then present their dish to judges are scored on preparation, serving size, food safety concerns, nutritional value and cost.
Wildcat 4-H Food Challenge Team took 3rd!
199 kids in 54 teams signed up for the food challenge competition in Center Texas.
Teams were divided up into either appetizers, main course, or dessert.
They were given ingredients and had to come up with a plan and create a dish for their category.
Wildcat 4-H team members Daniel Jones, Coty Nall, TJ Roberts, and Brock Fedoroff competed in the challenge for the first time and took 3rd place.
So very proud of these kids. So far this year, they have competed in photography and food challenge, and will compete in robotics next month.
We are very proud of what they have accomplished.
