This summer Polk County youth had the opportunity to learn all about the world of cooking. They were able to name all of the cooking tools and work with many of them while they cooked their own breakfast, lunch and dinner. “Which all turned out tasty and wonderful,” said Helen Clark,4-H agent. In addition, they learned about food safety and not only how to prepare a meal but how to make the meal nutritionally balanced.
