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.

The governor's island events that begin and end each summer are well known and the talk of the city every year. This year to kick off a summer of fun the TBC's helped Jimmy's No. 43 run 5 different booths and welcomed in the summer. A beautiful day the students had a lot of fun!!

"I enjoyed serving more than 300 people. I have never done this before and I wouldn't mind doing it again. The crowd was very large and I feel without my assistance this day would have been very chaotic. Handing out food, greeting everyone was a little difficult because I'm not a very social person but I enjoyed it and I would love to do it again!"-Chef David

"Today was a lot of fun. I would do this again sometime. I liked hor everyone worked together as a group. I think if we weren't here it wouldn't have gone smoothly. I also think that we helped take some of the stress of the other guys"-Chef Dexter

"Today was a great day. I helped prepare pork which was amazing. After we were done we got a chance to taste every dish at the event. I did this last year at the end of the summer, and it was bigger but this year they had more foods and desserts!!"-Chef Marielis

"This even was really fun, getting to taste the different food and meeting other chef's even with the heat was very enjoyable"-Chef Ayerine

    Love the blog! Just found it through the 'Food Revolution' website. I really admire the work you guys are doing. I am putting together a cook book of healthy recipes for an organization called Seven Generations Ahead, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to share some recipes. We'd love to feature your work in this cook book that will be used as a resource for many schools. Please let me know if you're interested!

    Keep up the great work! :)
