The March Recipe Exchange, in conjunction with the annual Deseret Newspaper in Education NO BOOKS DAY, was one of life's adventures for our young food testers.
Students from first through 10th grades (some with help, some solo) donated the ingredients, their time and their reputations for the sake of truth, justice and the American whey.Perhaps some day we'll see one of them on television, cooking up a big pot of perfect pasta!
