2012 Iron Go! Chefs Cooking Competition

For many children, Spring Break is coming to an end. But only a few can brag about having spent their time off participating in the 2nd Annual Children’s Aid Society Iron Go! Chefs Cooking Competition at the East Harlem Center! On April 19th, teams of elementary and middle school chefs from Children’s Aid Society centers and community schools showed off their cooking skills in hopes of winning the Best Overall prize and the prestigious title of “Iron Go! Chefs.” The students had only one hour to prep, cook and plate a delicious meal to be judged by a distinguished panel of judges, including New York City Commissioner of Community Affairs Nazli Parvizi, Radio Show host and Institute for Culinary Education instructor Chef Erica Wides (a.k.a. Chefsmartypants), filmmaker Heidi Reinberg and Children’s Aid staff.
