The children at MacGregor Elementary who are in Brennan’s Chef Randy Evan’s cooking class got a treat last week. A PBS film crew visited them for an up-close look at how Recipe for Success and our Chefs in Schools program really works.
One of young students shared his insight for television appearances—“Don’t look straight at the camera†he advised. His classmates in Mrs. Bell’s fourth grade must have all taken the advice to heart as they ignored the cameras and sound booms to concentrate on cooking. Chef Randy rose to the occasion with his scrumptious recipe for spice muffins, accompanied by a geography lesson and insight to history of the spice trade. The kids helped figure out how to divide the recipe into thirds; carefully measured, stirred and mixed; then judged their results two thumbs up! A perfect recipe for the holidays that uses Splenda instead of sugar, with whole wheat flour and molasses for a healthy 185 calorie treat that tastes like it’s 500. The program, Living Smart, is expected to air on Channel 8 in February of 2007.
