Chef de Cuisine
Food nourishes us. Food unites us. Food brings us together in times of great joy and sorrow, community building and merry making. Cafeterias, restaurants and coffee houses are typically where we go with friends over brunch, lunch, or dinner. While we do not have access to those things during the staycation of 2020, we can still connect over a great meal- and you can be the source of that experience! Be a RISK-TAKER and try some news recipes, consider making a cookbook or a cooking show of your own to inspire others; there could even be a service project in it for you!
The engagements on this page are good for all ages, some of you (R3-Y8) need to be sure to have parental support while cooking.
