Hey Kids, Let's Cook! Program Developer Kathy Powers |
Hi, and welcome to the accompanying website for the new children’s television
production of Hey Kids, Let’s Cook. You and your kids won’t want
to miss the latest
in educational programming on Valley Public Television. Hey Kids, Let’s
Cook is a
½ hour series which helps children and teens to develop cooking skills,
demonstrates delicious recipes, and teaches nutrition in a format that is both
fun and informative.
Targeting 8-14 year old kids
and teens, Hey Kids, Let’s Cook attracts kids who love to cook,
those who want to learn. The series will feature
recipes for that kids love to make and eat such as:
personal pizzas, taco salad, smoothies, and chicken
rice bowls. Focusing on nutrition in conjunction
with preparation techniques, Hey Kids, Let’s
Cook will give kids the know-how to eat properly,
and challenge them to do it themselves.
Children and teens love learning how
to cook and feel empowered by learning skills
that are usually only possessed by adults. As cooking
programs for adults on television have increased
in popularity in recent years, there is a continuing
lack of programming
which targets a child or teen’s taste and skill
level. Now with the number of overweight and obese
children at an alarming rate, there is a tremendous
need to teach children healthy eating habits, and
to aid them in making nutritious food choices.
Hey Kids, Let’s Cook will
be a valuable, multidisciplinary, cooking show
with an
educational component which includes: literacy, science,
health education, math,
life skills, and career exploration into an exciting
and fun format which children and teens will love.
We’re glad you’re
here and we hope you enjoy the show!
Best Wishes,
Kathy Powers
