MEET OUR KIDS ADVISORY BOARD: Tori

We’re excited to introduce our new ChopChop Kids Advisory Board (KAB). This group of cool kids was hand-selected from kids that applied. They’ll help us to test recipes, think of new ideas for the magazine, and make sure ChopChop gets the kid approval. For the next few weeks, we’ll be spotlighting different members of the board.

This week, meet Tori. She loves pancakes. It was the first thing she ever cooked and is now her favorite food.
