HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Young chefs-in-the-making received a taste of the culinary world at Applebee's inside the Richmond International Airport on Saturday.

Kids from 7 to 14 stepped into the kitchen for the Culinary Artistry Workshop hosted by the Society, Incorporated – Chickahominy River Women Chapter.

“You never know — we might produce a chef out of this experience,” said Patrice Randall, a member of The Society, Incorporated. “This is art, too. It’s a way for kids to express themselves through food and understand what it takes to prepare a beautiful meal.”

With help from Executive Chef Corey Sheldon, the kiddos learned how to plate, garnish and design beautiful dishes and even dabble in table décor.

The event was free, fun and flavorful with all materials included.
