🍫 Recipe of the Week: Magnífico Mexican Tofu Mole + "Water You Cooking Up?" Flavored Water + Crispy Corny Cakes 🌶️

Holy guacamole did summer go by fast! In many schools, our classes are starting back up! Look for our Recipe of the Week posts every Monday!

This week, kids in Sticky Fingers Cooking classes nationwide are back in session, whipping up a fun recipe that’s a flavor adventure: Magnífico Mexican Tofu Mole! "Mole" (MO-lay) is a thick sauce with thousands of preparations, but the signature ingredients are chocolate and peppers. Our kid chefs will start by chopping up tofu, a tomato, and green onions. Then, they will drizzle vegetable oil into a large pot over medium heat, and mix in all the chopped vegetables and tofu. Next, kids will measure out the spices, cocoa powder and vegetable stock, stir to combine all the ingredients, then simmer for 10-15 minutes. Our kid chefs will be sure to t.a.t (taste + adjust + taste) the mixture to their liking!

While the mole simmers and cools, kids can create our Crispy Corny Cakes! Our kid chefs will start by measuring out corn kernels, flour, baking powder, salt, water, and oil into a large mixing bowl, and whisking to form a batter. With Chef Instructor help, kids can carefully pour batter into the pan to cook for about 3 minutes, then flip the cakes and cook for another 2 minutes. After the cakes cool, kids will dip the corn cakes in the mole and enjoy! "Buen provecho" (Bwayn proh-VAY-choh) or "Enjoy your meal" in Spanish!

To wash it all down, our kids will create "Water You Cooking Up?" Flavored Water! Kids will choose the flavor of water they will be making from these ingredients: cucumber, lime, lemon, orange, and mint. Kids will slice the fresh ingredients they chose and place them into a pitcher, then measure and add water and ice, then stir and serve!

✨ Hands-on, full of flavor, and fun – this week’s recipe keeps kids active, engaged and discovering new tastes from across the globe!

Our Global Taste Buds campers are packing their culinary passports and heading to France — no plane ticket needed!

A quick bake and voilà — a fancy snack that’s très magnifique and perfect for sharing with friends and family.

But the adventure doesn’t stop there! Campers will sip on Elegant Mulled Grape Juice Deluxe while learning all about the rich food history, culture, and fun facts that make French cuisine so special.

🍎🌽 Fresh flavors are in season for August... and so is after-school cooking! 👩‍🍳✨

As summer transitions into fall, our classrooms are filled with fresh, seasonal ingredients that inspire curiosity, confidence, and hands-on learning. Throughout August and beyond, young chefs will explore a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables while practicing real cooking skills, discovering where food comes from, and creating recipes they'll be proud to make again.

Every class is an opportunity to chop, mix, taste, learn, and grow—all while having a whole lot of fun with friends after school. 🥣

🍽️ Back-to-school means it's the perfect time to add a little "Cool"inary Curiosity in Kids® to your child's weekly routine.

🌮 Summer Camp Recipe of the Week: Fabuloso Avocado Street Tacos! 🌮

Let’s taco ’bout this week’s delicious adventure straight from our Farm to Table Summer Camp! Our young chefs are learning just how tasty fresh ingredients can be — and these Fabuloso Avocado Street Tacos are the perfect bite of summer.

Street tacos are a Mexican classic: soft, warm corn tortillas filled with flavorful veggies or meat and topped with bright, zesty goodness like onions, cilantro, and salsa. Unlike the hard shells you see at fast-food chains, these stay true to tradition — simple, fresh, and totally satisfying.

At camp this week, our chefs will bread and fry creamy avocado slices, toss up a crunchy Mexican Slaw, and drizzle it all with homemade Cilantro Crema. Pro tip: they make the slaw first and let the flavors mingle while your avocado gets crispy and golden!

One bite and you’ll taste why they’re called Fabuloso! It’s Farm to Table fun, wrapped up in a warm tortilla and shared with friends.

🥞🔬🍳✨ In this week’s recipe Cooking + Science = a match made in the kitchen! ✨🔬🍳🥞

In our S.T.E.A.M. Cooking Camp, we’re whipping up tasty experiments that connect Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math — all while keeping boredom off the menu and multiplying the fun!

One of our favorite recipes? Kitschy Kitchen Sink Pancakes! Think breakfast for dinner but with a twist — these flapjacks are an edible science lab where our young chefs get to toss in whatever ingredients spark their curiosity. Pretzels? Sure. Chocolate chips? Why not. Grated sweet potato? Go for it!

Just like every culture has its own take on pancakes — from French crêpes to Korean pajeon — our kid chefs get to invent their own version, experiment with flavors, and discover what delicious surprises come from a good old culinary “what if…?”
