Bringing food to life: Grow Food's free cooking class for kids going strong, albeit on a screen

Back before the plague, I used to volunteer in my son’s first-grade class at Leeds Elementary School on Fridays. This was a strenuous proposition — a roomful of high-spirited 6- and 7-year-olds bursting with end-of-the-week energy meant that I often went home and had to lie down for a while in a dark room.
The very best Fridays, however, were the ones when the Grow Food Kids program arrived with its cooking lesson cart, complete with kale and apples and knives for all. Then there was no question of trying to make kids sit on the rug or pay attention to the reading lesson on the smart screen; all the kids were automatically riveted by the prospect of making something edible, and learning something applied.
