COURT HOUSE – The Kitchen Phanatics 4-H Club will host the 4-H Chopped! Cooking Contest Feb. 11 at the Erma Volunteer Firehouse, 415 Breakwater Road at the Cape May County Airport.
The event is open to all registered 4-H members in Cape May County who are in the fourth grade or older.
Contestants will have two hours for food prep and cooking and will be judged on: creating a table setting, displaying a menu for one meal and preparing one dish from their menu.
The twist to the contest is that all prepared dishes must include bacon, regardless of whether the recipe is intended for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert.
Contestants are required to bring all items needed for prep, cooking, and serving, as well as all items for their table setting.
Prizes will be awarded to first, second and third place winners in each division. A 4-H Chopped! workshop was held Jan. 30 in the Lockwood 4-H Youth Center that helped contestants prepare.
According to a release, 4-H Program Coordinator Linda Horner noted that the event is an example of the learn-by-doing approach that the 4-H youth development program teaches.
“4-H is all about youth developing skills and self-confidence through the exploration of something that interests them under the guidance of a caring adult,” she explains.
The 4-H Youth Development Program is part of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station and Rutgers Cooperative Extension. 4-H educational programs are offered to all youth grades K – 13 on an age-appropriate basis, without regard to race, religion, color, natural origin, gender, sexual orientation or disability.
