Gifts for the Little ChefAt the Culinary Institute of America we get to hear a lot of stories about kids who like to cook and help out in the kitchen and we love it! We encourage their devotion to the culinary world and can see the future professional chef or adult foodie in all of them. Help them on their way to fun and success with a great gift from the CIA. Whether it is a pint-sized chef coat or a cute little bear who looks ready to instruct a class of eager young chefs.
