Best of All: Adonis, Our Adventurous Chef!
Each week, Adonis is eager to come to GiGi’s Playhouse for GiGi’s Kitchen Kids. He never misses a beat on Tuesdays, reminding everyone, “It’s time to go to GiGi’s!” Adonis’s enthusiasm for the program doesn’t stop in the kitchen. He’s so excited about GiGi’s Kitchen Kids that he’s now recruited his sister to join in on the fun! Between sessions, he practices his culinary skills at home, experimenting with his own recipes, measuring to his heart’s content, and proudly sharing his creations with his family.
Before joining GiGi’s Kitchen Kids, Adonis was very selective about his food, often preferring to stick to the familiar and comforting foods like cheese or chips. New foods felt like a big leap, but his journey with us has been remarkable. With the support of our encouraging team of volunteers, Adonis has bravely ventured beyond his comfort zone, tasting flavors and textures he once avoided. He’s even tried onions recently, a food he previously wouldn’t go near. Adonis is taking steps each week, becoming a little more adventurous with every bite!
During each session of GiGi’s Kitchen Kids, our team would encourage Adonis to add just one new food to his plate. We’d hold up something like a grape or a sprinkle of granola, asking, “What do you think, Adonis?” With a big smile, he’d laugh and say, “Nooo!” as if to playfully protest. But then, in a burst of courage, he’d grab the new food and take a bite. His expression would shift to one of curiosity, and sometimes, he’d nod approvingly, discovering he liked it more than he expected.
These moments, filled with laughter and a touch of adventure, have become our favorite part of the class. Watching Adonis tackle new flavors with humor and courage has been inspiring. Each new food he tries brings him a step further on his journey, and we can’t wait to see what he’ll try next!
