As part of the initiative, Kids & Chefs Cook for Success brings together the talents of the 54 kids that won this year’s contest with local chefs for educational cooking demonstrations. Hannah Foley of Grove City and Chef Trevett Hooper of Legume have already worked together in her 6^th grade classroom in Grove City Area Middle School to teach simple and nourishing recipes from Chef Hooper.
