On Saturday, January 10th, Bronx Children's Museum launched a high-energy program blending literacy with hands-on culinary science called Cooking By The Book.
The event, featuring Alliah Agostini author of "The Juneteenth Cookbook," brought families together to create a tasty salad dressing that developed children's skills for measuring, mixing and observation.
