Chopped Challenge returns to Priest River Library 

Open to kids ages 0-18, Chopped Challenge is a monthly cooking contest modeled after the hit show of the same name.

Contestants compete by bringing their prepared dish that uses the secret ingredients along with a printed copy of their recipe for judging Nov. 2 at noon. Entries will be judged on presentation, creativity and taste. New this fall, the winner of November’s challenge will select the ingredients for December! November’s “secret” ingredients are cookies and cream.

For more information, contact the library at 208-448-2207.
