Whole Foods launches kids food adventure with Chef Mehta

AUSTIN, Texas Whole Foods Market announced that it has partnered with Chef Jehangir Mehta, "The Next Iron Chef" runner-up and executive chef/owner of Graffiti Food & Wine Bar in New York City, to create The Kids Food Adventure with Chef Jehangir Mehta, a series of hands-on classes to encourage parents and children to be more adventurous with food while making healthy choices.

The  multi-city class tour will begin in New York City  at Whole Foods Market's 95 E. Houston Street location on April 10  from 10 a.m. to noon. The program costs $30 per child and will include interactive store tours, educational and creative cooking demos, and conversations designed to encourage healthy, adventurous cooking at home, according to Whole Foods.. 

"Children can be intimidated by foods that are unfamiliar to them, which means they often won't try something they haven't seen before," said Mehta. "The Kids Food Adventure will give families fresh ideas to get children interested in trying new food concepts and flavors to make a long-lasting, positive impact on the way they eat. It's a high five for their palates!"
