After showing an interest in cooking, Adele's family gifted her a subscription to Raddish Kids for her 9th birthday.
By her 10th birthday, Adele was so confident in her cooking skills that she asked to have a birthday party where she prepared food and a cake for her friends and family.
Adele was one of 10 children selected for the Raddish Kids Culinary Scholarship program, which was created to help extra special kids improve and expand upon their skills in the kitchen.
As part of the scholarship, Adele will receive a monthly virtual cooking class with the other winners learning crucial culinary skills from a Raddish culinary coach, an annual subscription to Raddish Kids, a $500 grocery stipend and a year's supply of butter from Challenge Butter.
Adele and her mom Mauni joined us with a recipe for Key Lime Tartlets.
