The Cooking Project

Our mission is to equip young people with fundamental cooking skills. Why cooking skills? We believe the skills, knowledge, creativity, and ability to improvise that allow a person to successfully take on challenges in the kitchen can empower young people in their daily lives. The Cooking Project programs will teach young people core cooking skills, empowering young people in their daily lives and succeeding in other areas of their life too.

Help introduce chefs, writers, home cooks, and farmers to young people who will teach them fundamental cooking skills. These teachers will help to demystify the kitchen and share their perspectives on culture and food. Together we will help young people see they are capable of making nutritious, delicious, and inexpensive dishes from diverse cultural traditions.
