Youth Food Literacy program at the Meredith Public Library

MEREDITH — The Meredith Public Library is offering a brand new youth program, the Young Chef’s Table, a monthly food-centric program designed to get kids cooking, learning, and coming together at the dinner table with their families.

Patrons 18 and under are invited to sign-up for The Young Chef's Table by calling the library or stopping by the circulation desk. Once you’re signed up you’ll receive a Meredith Public Library cutting board to do all your prep on. Every month you will receive a new recipe to prepare at home, and keep an eye out for videos of Mr. John preparing each one, too. The program will be starting simple, with recipes from the Ballpark Eats cookbook from Sports Illustrated Kids, so it'll be mostly boiling water, maybe chopping an onion and assembling some delicious dogs. But most importantly, Mr. John will be talking about how he chooses and shops for ingredients, going over kitchen safety tips, and probably telling stories about the many meals and kitchen mishaps he’s lived through.

For questions about these or any library events, call 603-279-4303 or visit the website, Meredithlibrary.org.
