Teen Review: "Chopped" (Television Show)

Chopped TV Show Review
By J. H.

Chopped is an interesting show on cooking.  It is on the Food Network Channel & new episodes are shown on Tuesday nights at 10 pm.  Four chefs compete against each other to win $10,000.  There are three rounds : appetizer, entree and dessert.  In each round they are given a basket with four mystery items.  They then cook a dish using those ingredients as well as whatever they would like in the "Chopped" pantry/fridge.  The dishes are judged on taste, creativity and presentation.  There are three judges per show & these judges are well known chefs.  At the end of each round,  the judges choose the chef who did the worst job and they are sent home.  The chef who is still there at the end of the dessert round wins the money and is crowned "Chopped Champion."

     Chopped is an exciting show that is also educational.  It teaches you how to cook and use your imagination.  The ingredients are often weird and would not usually be cooked together.  My favorite thing about this show is that the Chefs need to think  on their feet.  Each round is timed so they have to be quick.  Chopped is a very good show that the whole family can enjoy together.

8 YA BOOK CLUB BOOKS TO READ FOR GREAT DISCUSSIONS

Alice Nuttall   Sep 5, 2023 B ook clubs aren’t just a way to enjoy reading and branch out by trying books you wouldn’t have picked for yourself — they’re also a great way to get into discussions of multiple different subjects inspired by the reading you’ve done together. While book clubs can be beneficial to people of all ages, they can be a particularly helpful place for teens to engage with new ideas, put their opinions forward, and take part in friendly discussions about everything from social issues to the writing process. I’ve been in a few book clubs over the years, and while I certainly haven’t loved everything I’ve read as part of them, it definitely led me to YA book club books I otherwise would never have tried and got me looking at a whole range of different perspectives. School is back in session for the autumn, and whether you’re an educator yourself or just want to help the teens in your life discover new books, a YA book club is a great way to get young people engage...

CLASSIC YA BOOKS THAT MADE YOU FEEL SEEN

  K.W. Colyard   Jul 26, 2023 SPEAK   BY LAURIE HALSE ANDERSON I’m sure I’d heard of another book about rape before  Speak  came along. Hell, I might even have read one. But these days? This is the only book I can remember that dealt with one of the myriad possible reactions to sexual assault: silence.  Speak  and other books that deal with similar subject matter have the ability to empower victims of abuse to label what’s happened to them and seek help. ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT’S ME, MARGARET  BY JUDY BLUME Once a staple on banned books lists, Judy Blume’s most famous novel has been teaching preteens about puberty — including menstruation and boob exercises — since 1970.  Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret  was far ahead of its time, being one of the first children’s books to show an interfaith family on the page, and — along with Lois Lowry’s Anastasia Krupnik — depicted a child allowed to make up her own m...
