Lilly and Audrey, We are
identical twin culinary explorers! We’re 9 years old and have loved everything about food and entertaining since we were toddlers. As kids we feel you shouldn’t just eat what some people call kid food, kids should have the opportunity to eat healthy, beautiful grown up style food. Kids and grown ups sharing and cooking to- gether the same wonderful foods. It’s fun and tasty, and while you’re cooking and entertain- ing you learn so much. Its time well spent with your culinary grown up helper. We have learned from a young age to love all different kinds of healthy foods. We want to spread our passion for cooking to other kids. Kids can be so creative in the kitchen; it is sort of like art. We would see interesting food on TV or at the market we wanted to try. One of our outings when we were little was going to our local farmers market. Our Mom would let us pick out some fruits and veggies that we found pretty or unusual, that maybe we had not tried before. We would take it home and we would help her prepare it different ways. Usually we loved it, oc- casionally we decided it wasn’t our favorite but the point is that we tried everything! Our Dad is a wonderful cook, we love learning his family recipes. As we have gotten older we even do reports on the fruits and veggies we cook. We learn interesting facts about them like cocoa beans were once used as currency, when they were worn out they were ground up and used for a drink. Some kids have activities like soccer or piano, we have cooking! Cooking is so much fun, we are so fortunate to have grown ups in our life that share their cooking knowledge with us. We have even taken local cooking classes. Meet- ing new chefs and talking with them about their cooking style is so great. We like to tour restau- rants and take pictures of their big kitchens! We especially like to plan menus for parties, shop for tasty ingredients, cook with our grown up helper and invite family and friends to share our grown up style food. At
twinchefs.net we share our recipes, cooking videos, food reports, and party ideas with kids and grown ups! Brainstorming recipes, fi nding ways to make it tasty, fun, and beautiful are some of our favorites. With the help of our Mom, Dad, and others who inspire us we get to share our recipes and ideas with you on our website. We want to be the youngest kids ever to go to culinary school. We eventually want to open res- taurants and even have our own TV show. In the mean time visit us at
twinchefs.net and see how kids can love grown up style food and parents can be inspired to be a kid again! Just remem- ber to bring your culinary helper along on all of our adventures!
