Cooked, cleaned, and everything in between, 4-H exhibitors battled to claim victory of the next best NC 4-H Jr. Chefs!
The 2023 Dinah Gore 4-H Healthy Food Challenge was held on May 20th in partnership with the annual Got to Be NC Festival at the NC State Fairgrounds. This contest challenges teams to prepare a meal given a ‘secret ingredient,’ food category, and items from a locally sourced pantry. With just forty minutes to spare, participants had to prepare their dish and a presentation on the nutritional benefit of their meal.
“The Dinah Gore 4-H Healthy Food Challenge has been a dream of many for the past few years, and watching it come true was nothing short of amazing” said Dr. Shannon McCollum, Youth Leadership Specialist with North Carolina 4-H and Committee Chair.
Tomatoes (8–10 year olds), goat cheese (11-13 year olds), and wagyu beef (14-18 year olds) were the secret ingredients that participants learned about only moments after the forty minute countdown begun. To accompany these ingredients, participants selected from a variety of local NC fruits, vegetables, spices, sauces, eggs, and much more. These items were donated by vendors participating in the Got to Be NC festival- as local & fresh as it gets!
“We wanted to create a competition that would allow 4-H’ers to focus on healthy, local food choices and showcase their leadership skills by working together to create a nutritious meal. We have some very talented 4-H’ers who accepted the challenge, and all our teams did an outstanding job” shares Dr. Shannon McCollum. In addition to cash prizes, winners were gifted with an engraved cutting board symbolizing this year’s event.
