LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — High school students from all around Las Vegas put their cooking skills to the test for Flavors for Life’s 5th annual Next-Gen Healthy Culinary competition.

More than 20 teams of young student chefs participated in the nonprofit’s annual health-conscious food competition at the College of Southern Nevada on Saturday.

The competition is a part of the organization’s culinary program aimed at combating childhood obesity by educating students throughout Clark County about healthy food options and creating better choices.

The students were tasked with preparing a healthy recipe in a savory or sweet category.

Rancho High School’s Prinz Villagracia won the title for the savory one, and Sophia Larsen from North West Career and Technical Academy High School took the top spot in the dessert category.
