Ledyard’s Next Top Chefs

Wednesday’s Dream Deserts cooking event let kids and teens work side-by-side doing something that takes a little bit of work and a lot of attention to detail but pays off good in coconut and almond flavor, chocolate and peanut butter flavor or raspberry and lemony chiffon flavor.

The cooking class was open to kids in fourth through sixth grades and it filled up fast. The teens were a big help in guiding the younger kids through the instructions. The group made No Bake Cookies, Chocolate Pudding Cake, Coconut Macaroons and "Pretty in Pink" Chiffon Cake.

Check the Library's website for specific details but future events for kids and teens include:

• A Twilight Movie Marathon that begins Friday at 2 p.m.
• Teens Cook! Chocolate on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
• Lunch and a Movie on Wednesday at 12, featuring Sleeping Beauty
• Captain Papillion visits on Friday, July 27 at 11 a.m. Papillion is a 'Purveyor of Positive Pirate Talk' and will talk to kids about Unplundering the Good Earth.
