When sisters Amy and Connie
Port from Pennsylvania Furnace
hurried to Ag Progress Days on
Tuesday, they never expected to
demonstrate cooking before a
crowd. But When Dana Wiker, 9,
needed help in the kitchen, Amy,
11, and Connie, 9, offered to help.
After a 30 minute demonstration
before the audience at the Family
Center, they were glad they had
helped cook.
“I really liked making raspberry
milkshake. It tasted really good,”
Connie said.
“I liked the apple crisp the best,”
said Amy.
She likes it so well that she
intends to make more at home to
share with her family.
Dana, who is the daughter of
Nancy Wiker, said that she gets
lots of experience cooking. Her
mother who works as a consumer
science educator at Lancaster
County Extension teaches cooking
classes as part of her job.
It’s not surprising that Dana is
an expert cook since she has her
own live-in cooking teacher.
Lucky for the people in the
audience—they got to sample the
girls’ cooking.
Here are some recipes shared
during the cooking sessions held
throughout the three-day event.
