Stirring Up Change In a Community Near You

Teen Battle Chef, is a program of FamilyCook Productions in over 75 schools and community sites across the U.S. Over half are sponsored in high schools by HealthCorps. This blog began in summer 2010 when FamilyCook invited NYC Teen Battle Chefs to participate in internships working with chefs in restaurants, teaching younger children cooking, growing food in food deserts, and cooking in farmers markets across 5 boroughs. In fall 2010, our program continues and thanks to Robin Quivers, her run in the NYC Marathon in November, will provide critical funding so our Teen Battle Chef programs in CT and in HealthCorps schools in NJ can experience these transformational internships as well.

Chefs in the Making!

Poem by Sira Faizi.

We are Teen Iron Chef
When put to the test
We make the best

With 100% effort in our mood
Potential in our attitude
Teen iron chef produces healthy food

Support from our peers
Confidence in our eats,
The best meal, we prepare

New foods from different diversities
Expanding our food variety
To improve ourselves, others, and our community

By persuing our opportunities
We take on responsibilities
And expand our networks globally

We are young chefs so now its your turn
Instead of being taught, we will help you learn
So sit back and enjoy the recipes you've earned!
