Chef Bobo believes the best way to ensure that adults eat well is to develop an appetite for healthy foods early in life. His recipes feature nutritious food with bold flavor. At Calhoun School, where he also teaches at an after-school cooking club for students, his culinary skills are transforming the way kids think about and eat food. Some the most popular items at Calhoun School are steamed broccoli and rutabaga fries. Kids want their parents to serve them the same food they get at school so Chef Bobo often sends recipes home.
