Got Spring Break plans? Blend family time with culinary adventure at Family Chef's Challenge Monday, April 1 at 11 a.m. at Roundz Gourmet Market, 2299 Johns Hopkins Road, Gambrills.
Here’s how it works: Four teams of two people each will compete in a light-hearted, no-stress cooking contest. Participants will take a tour of the Roundz kitchen and have access to the Roundz pantry and equipment.
After the "Mystery Ingredient" is revealed, teams will have 90 minutes to prepare and plate a culinary creation. Chef Zachary Pope, Crofton resident and owner of Roundz, will be on hand throughout to offer guidance and suggestions to all teams.

"I'm not be looking for high-end fantasy food at this event," Chef Pope said. "I encourage participants to make what they know."
