Young Chefs: Ian’s Awesome Mushrooms

Ian Charon

 

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona issued a cooking challenge to children ages 9 through 12, seeking healthy and tasty side dish recipes. These top five recipes were chosen based on nutrition, taste and originality, and the young chefs presented the dishes at a cookoff in the West Valley. Cookoff videos were posted on the Walk On website where people cast votes for their favorite dish. The winner of the Walk On Kids Cooking Challenge is Sophia Gray. Congratulations to all of the contestants! 

Ian Charon, 12, attends West Point Elementary School in Surprise. His favorite thing to cook is mushrooms and his sister loves to eat them, too. Ian’s favorite healthy foods are mushrooms and tomatoes. He thinks it’s important to eat healthy, “so you can grow and get muscles and stay healthy.” He plays football and baseball and he likes competition.
