Lil Chefs prepare special treats for Valentine's Day at the Burr Ridge Park District.
A group of youngsters signed up for Chef Laura Valcour’s “Lil Chefs Sweet Valentines” cooking class on Feb. 8 at the Burr Ridge Park District.
The four- and five-year-olds worked on recipes which included heart-shaped cookies made of cookie dough, ham and cheese. They also dipped strawberries in homemade frosting. The gang got plenty of scraps to munch on along the way and shared stories about moms, dads and grandparents alike.
However, not everyone had cookies and strawberries to bring home for mom and dad. Quite a few lil chefs kept the goods for themselves and sported Valentine-themed crumbs around their faces.
