Baking w/CADL, Your Kids, & MasterChef Junior’s Kamryn Chasnis Dec. 5th

Unless you're a customer at his restaurant, the thought of being in the same room with Gordan Ramsay is terrifying enough.

If you're a chef, the threat level is super high.

However, he does seem to have a soft spot in his heart for kids learning to cook. You'll see him melt and just turn to mush while teaching the fine culinary arts.

And I have to give it to kids who get to be on MasterChef Junior with Chef Ramsay. You have to have a certain "particular" set of skills to even attempt that.

At about age 12, I was alright in the kitchen. My grandma was the one who made sure I could navigate around a stove. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have anywhere near the confidence in my cooking abilities I do now. She was very much from the old school. "Boy if you hungry and you want something to eat, you better learn how to cook it for yourself." I learned how to make my own hamburgers, scramble eggs, and cook hot dogs at an early age.

I know grown men who can't do any of that now.

But I know Kamryn Chasnis can put us all to shame. And she's just 16.

Kamryn braved the challenges of MasterChef Junior at age 12. Four years later she's got a cookbook, her own business, and she's ready to share what she's learned with you and your kids thanks to our friends at Capital Area District Libraries.

In a demonstration that features the holiday book The Polar Express, Kamryn will bake some festive cupcakes and share plenty of decorating tips. For age 8 & up; younger with supervision. *Registration required at 517-367-6312, or click on "Register." Registrants will be emailed a link to attend on Microsoft Teams, along with a copy of the recipe and an ingredients list. You will also be automatically entered to win one of Kamryn's holiday decorating kits! (CADL)
