‘TRYit!’ featured at Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival

Getting kids to try new foods can be a difficult task for many parents. As part of Disney’s Magic of Healthy Living campaign, Chef Jens Dahlman created some fun dishes for the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival to get kids trying new food and flavors.

Parents will find dishes that have a familiar ingredient paired with something unusual. For example, the Spring Pancake comes with grilled chicken and green apple. Here is a look at some of the TRYit dishes:
