About the Instructors: 
Food Explorers aim to inspire and empower children to learn valuable cooking skills and nurture a positive relationship with food. All Food Explorers recipes are uniquely designed to challenge kids in the kitchen and introduce them to new foods, flavors and cultures. Food Explorers instructors are trained around the concept of “Food Neutrality” in order to help children discover the joys of food and cooking without judgement or pressure.
