Have you seen Carrie's "Cook & Chat" reels on TikTok and Instagram? If so, you know how much Carrie loves to cook. Do you have a child who loves to cook or bake? One of the best ways to learn about cultures and countries around the world is through cooking. Through the culinary arts, students learn geography, history, and math. The kitchen becomes your science lab. As you explore foods from around the world, students learn life skills, listen to great music, and read exciting stories. In this week's episode, Carrie talks with Chef Rowena Scherer, founder and CEO of Eat 2 Explore, about how to use cooking as an enjoyable and comprehensive way to learn just about everything.
