We’ll be cooking with kids at the Doof-A-Palooza!

DooF is an innovative television series for children, set to air on public television in 2009, that gets kids excited about good food through humor, science, live action, animation, music and cooking.

Get an inside take on the DooF Television show at DooF-a-Palooza through a range of participatory activities with growers, chefs, purveyors and cookbook authors, including the chefs of Google’s own amazing food program.

The DooF-a-Palooza ticket price includes food courtesy of our Sourcerers and Google’s amazing cafes, a free DooF-a-Palooza eco-tote-bag, parking, a commemorative Foodbackwards Passport with your photo inside, and dozens of hands-on activities:

• A Kitchen Sink Cook-Off For Kids with Joey Altman
• Kids’ cookbook author activities and signings
• Sustainable fish stories from the Monterey Bay Aquarium
• See yourself ‘live’ on the big screen
• Build your own quesadillas with Revolution Foods
• Tell your own Doofy Food Story – and audition for DooF
