Young Chef Eliana Joins ZisBoomBah Using Culinary Talent to Take a Bite Out of Childhood Obesity
BOULDER, Colo. – February 28, 2012 – ZisBoomBah.com, The First Lady Michelle Obama Let’s Move award winning app, announced today the addition of local New Orleans, Louisiana kid foodie, Eliana, author of Eliana Cooks! Recipes for Creative Kids. Eliana will be encouraging kids to eat healthier with their very own chef page in ZisBoomBah’s Get Cooking with ZBB Kid Chefs section. The young chefs are inspiring kids to get involved in the kitchen with healthy recipes such as their delicious Fresh from the Garden Salsa and her cooking videos.
Trying to instill in children a love for food and cooking is hard for any parent. But fun cooking videos, kid friendly recipes and food stories created by kids for kids is an entirely fresh approach. As peers, the talented kid chefs will inspire kids to take an interest in food and cooking in way adults simply can’t! Better yet, kids can interact with the ZBB Kid Chefs by becoming “ZBB friends” with them; they get to message the kid chefs and share meals with them.
What advice does ZisBoomBah kid chef Eliana have for other kids looking to cook? “The most important thing for kids to learn before they start cooking is kitchen safety and cleanliness,” explains Kids Chef Eliana. Eliana joins seven other kid foodies on ZisBoomBah.com. The ZisBoomBah kid chefs are from White Bear Lake, MN, Tucson, AZ, Dallas, TX and Los Angeles, CA.
“By encouraging the power of peer to peer learning and influence, ZisBoomBah is changing the way kids are making healthy food and lifestyle choices. ZisBoomBah is thrilled to have the opportunity to build our online community with these bright and talented kid foodies.” expresses Karen Laszlo, founder of ZisBoomBah.com. ###
