Love Senior Teen Chef Lola’s desserts!

“Lola had all kinds of ideas for August’s Celebrity Chef Challenge, but when she headed to the market for said ingredients, she found herself drawn to the most seasonal offerings.
Earthy Organics pumpkin quickly became the star of the show in her rendition of pumpkin cheesecake pie, inspired by Sally’s Baking, an online baking personality with more than 1,200 recipes and tutorials. Her inspiration came from this pumpkin cheesecake pie recipe: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/pumpkin-cheesecake-pie/

And because Lola believes in using the whole pumpkin, she saved the seeds, seasoned them up and roasted them into a tasty little snack — perfect for munching on while waiting for the cheesecake filling to set. 🎃”

Senior Teen Chef Sophia made a cozy celebrity chef meal with her Jamie Oliver offering!

“A bit late posting...
For Sophia’s Celebrity Chef challenge, she made meat lasagne from Jamie Oliver (https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/pasta/jamie-s-classic-family-lasagne/). It was the perfect recipe to double to make three huge lasagnas- one for us, and two to give to family and friends. The recipe was a huge hit! 😋”

“For the August BBQ Challenge, Freshie Teen Chef Jaime cooked a whole chicken from Spencer Haywood

This was his first time dealing with a whole chicken, and the first time our family use the smoker attachment on the barbecue, so there was learning all around. The potatoes and corn were harvested out of the backyard garden in Warfield.

The meat was a 4 pound chicken and took just over three hours to reach perfect temperature.”

-well done Jaime! This was no easy feat and your dinner looks amazing.

We love the local spin Senior Teen Chef Vaeda brought to her lovely meal 🌟

“For my celebrity chef, I decided to choose a local cook and author of the best selling series White water cook books- Shelley Adams

I emailed her to ask her some questions about her Whitewater Cooks cook books and other elements of her business.

For the main dish, that I decided to make a recipe from her With Passion cookbook which is the fourth book in the series. I made an Eggplant Polenta Parmesan dish as the main course with a Kale Caesar Salad on the side and aTuscan style lemon and herb split chicken. I learned that polenta is surprisingly easy to make. It mainly consists of cornmeal and water but I added goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes and rosemary to it as well. The chicken was really fun to make and experiment with as well, especially because when I cooked it I put a rock on top to flatten it out. The final thing that I made was a chocolate hazelnut torte for dessert! It consists of mostly ground hazelnuts, sugar and only three tablespoons of flour. The icing I found to be a lot like chocolate mousse but with a higher amount of cocoa powder and sugar.

I really enjoyed this challenge because it motivated me to start cooking a lot more and exploring other chefs and cook books!”

Longtime Chef Club sponsor and supporter Bear Country Kitchen stocks the Whitewater Cookbooks if hood like to grab your own copy 😊

Senior Teen Chef Aiden brought a sweet side to the Celebrity Chef Challenge!

“For Aidens celebrity chef challenge he chose one of Gordon Ramseys dessert recipes, pavlova for two with Raspberry curd. He started off making the pavlova which involved seperating egg whites and whipping them with sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla till stiff peaks formed. After putting the mixture on a lined cookie sheet, it was ready to be baked. While that was in the oven he got busy with the raspberry curd! He combined raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and the egg yolks he seperated earlier to make a delicious smooth curd to fill the pavlova. The finishing touch was some fresh blueberries and chocolate covered strawberries from the market to place on top, it was a big hit!!”

We love Senior Teen Chef Esmes Celebrity Chef Challenge 🌟

“The Celebrity Chef that inspired my meal for the August Kootenay Teen Chef Club challenge is The Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten I picked Ina because I have been watching her show since I was 3 years old.

I made three of her recipes. Chicken Piccata, Garlic and Herb Tomatoes and Lemon Capellini. I used greens from Earthy Organics for a lemon and olive oil dressed side salad.”

Obsessed with this flavourful offering from Senior Teen Chef Stella 🌟

“For Stella’s year 3 celebrity chef inspired challenge, she chose 3 recipes from Antoni Porowski. She made cauliflower steaks with tumeric and almonds, sheet pan chicken with grapes and fresh rosemary, and roasted sweet potato fries with chimichurri. The cauliflower and garlic were from Super C's farm Trail Farmers Market , and the red onion was from Madelaine Jolin “
