Mother always said, "Never play with your food." Well, today some children were encouraged to do so. They learned about nutrition, food preparation, knife handling and how to make healthy microwaveable pita pizzas through the St. Alexius and Kohl`s cooking adventure class today.

Parents were also given lessons on healthy grocery shopping. The children were encouraged to be creative and add a lot of color to their pies.

"It`s just a fun, good- fun day for kids to come and learn about food and play with their food. So they get accustomed to healthy choices and fun things they can do to make cooking joyful, so it`s not such a tedious task to prepare a meal," said, Duane Ehrens, head chef of St. Alexius.

There will be two more cooking lessons next Saturday at Century High School, registration is required.
