Recipes let us know about how much they will make in the Yield. The yield is usually included near the beginning of the recipe. The yield will sometimes tell you how many it will make, for example 24 cookies, and sometimes it will tell you how much it will make, for example 1 litre of soup. But what happens if you need more or less of a recipe? Chefs convert recipes all the time so that they can make the amount that is needed.
Here’s a crunchy snack that includes ingredients from the three food groups: Fruit and Veggies, Protein and Whole Grains. Easy to make and as much fun to make as eat. If little fingers are doing the cutting, be sure to have all hands on deck for supervision.

Close your eyes and smell the apples. Do they smell the same?

In Project CHEF, we believe that a Chef is part Scientist. There is a lot of science in cooking.

Some of you may already know that oil & water don’t mix well together, but when making this salad dressing you will do just that.
