Testimonials

The STAR Program

We look so forward to seeing Ms. Williams and cooking with her and are sad it is almost over! I find this so superior to COOKSHOP because of the level of engagement by a DOE professional like Ms. Williams.

My class enjoyed the session with Miss Clarissa. She listened to their questions and answered them with a smile. They enjoyed prepping the food especially cutting the different food items. Most of them tried the rainbow wrap and enjoyed it.

I think they liked that there was a cooked protein (chicken) so that they got to make a savory meal. Nit that they didn't love the other recipes but this was a little different.

My students LOVED Chef Anasatasia and the creations they made! Many tried new foods for the first time and were surprised to learn they like these healthy alternatives.

The opportunity for my students to work with another instructor and develop flexibility as learners, along with the hands-on engagement in cutting, nutrition, and delicious food, has been amazing. Students even report increased involvement in cooking with their families at home!

We loved this residency. The kids enjoyed it. It helped some of my pickier eaters try new things. It also taught them easy healthy eating. I hope to see you next year!

The kids were really excited to make something part of their culture. I think that really resonated with them as well.
