San Diego Teens Produce Online Cooking Show

Teen chefs from San Diego have joined forces with college media students to produce the online show ”Cooking It Up!” Part cooking show, part oral history, part media workshop, the show introduces healthful cooking and tips and techniques to viewers for free.
