The sound of scraping knives and shifting cutting boards fills the kitchen in the student union on the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse campus.Dressed in white aprons and chef hats, 14 youth across six, seventh and eighth grades concentrate on chopping, dicing and julienning vegetables in a comfortable silence. In addition to knife techniques, this group of middle schoolers will learn other culinary skills as part of the three-day Kids Culinary Academy 2022. Students practice their chopping skills Tuesday using onions, cilantro, carrots and jalapeƱos.
