CIA Kids Hot

From site:  Culinary topics are an excellent way to introduce math concepts, science principles, and even artistic ideas. Measuring ingredients and converting recipes seems more like fun than math! Is it more interesting to read about yeast in a book, or bake bread from scratch? How many ways can food be presented on a plate to create a pleasing visual experience? The answers point to one conclusion: culinary arts can be an invaluable teaching aid! What's more, once kids are introduced to cooking, they usually become enthusiastic budding chefs!
