This summer, Weequahic’s Top Chef Kitchen is where it is at…with the newly renovated kitchen, equipped with four professional cooking stations, campers can’t seem to get enough of the fantastic offerings. Designed to meet the ever-growing interest in cooking, Cole and Kate created a top-of-the-line facility adorned with ten burners, four microwaves, three ovens, two dishwashers and a sub zero with enough space to accommodate as many as 24 campers, both boys and girls alike.
Designed with the older camper in mind, the experienced and inspired staff teaches
a variety of skills, including use of knives, fire, safety and more. The goal of Top Chef is to expand campers’ insatiable palate by introducing them to a wide array of healthy and easy to prepare foods that can be replicated at home.
Campers are not only responsible for preparing the ingredients, but for the cooking and baking, as well. And, a definite highlight for the parents at home, the campers are cleaning too! The staff is providing an engaging environment where the boys and girls are challenged. They are quickly becoming adept at using the kitchen’s equipment, collaborating with one another, as well as experimenting with new ingredients.
Some of the featured menu items have been: veggie spring rolls, fettuccini alfredo, sushi, omelets, mac n cheese muffins, loaded nachos and tacos and more – the list goes on! Campers enjoy the relaxed and cool atmosphere (literally best AC on camp), cooking with friends and devouring amazing food.
So, when campers returns home, break out the chef hat and apron and put them to work!
