A young culinary whiz made her debut in The Chew kitchen alongside her own kitchen hero, Mario Batali. Kaitlyn Nidhan visited the show and cooked a Chicken Prosciutto Roulade recipe with Batali. Try this with your kids at home!

She explained that her mother does not spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Did you learn to cook from a family member, or did you learn outside the home? Tell me in the comments.
