EMILY and LYLA ALLEN, known as The Kitchen Twins, got their first aprons and chef's hats at the age of three and they haven't stopped cooking since. Along the way, they discovered their love for creating fresh, natural recipes. At nine, the twins started their own blog, kitchen-twins.com. Soon after that, they won a local Shark Tank-style competition, allowing them to create and successfully test market "Make Your Own Kale Chips" kits. The teens have appeared on the Rachael Ray Show, Chopped Junior, Today Show, and Kid Food Nation, and in American Girl magazine. They live in New Jersey with their family, and in addition to cooking, they love the Adirondack mountains, animals, and playing lacrosse and field hockey--but they're not so keen on doing dishes, long car trips, or sharing the last of anything.
