What is the 4-H Outdoor Cookery Program?

The 4-H Outdoor Cookery Presentation Program gives youth the opportunity to demonstrate their outdoor cooking skills while building public speaking confidence. There are multiple categories: Beef, Chicken, Pork and Turkey. Youth select a category and then select a cut of meat to prepare. Participants then plan and present a recipe, explaining the steps, safety practices, and equipment used to prepare their recipe. This program helps youth develop communication skills, organization, and the ability to teach others, all while showcasing their creativity and knowledge of outdoor cookery.
