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.

Teen Battle Chef's on FOX Good Day New York!

In October Michele and Chima two of our star Teen Battle Chef's showed off their skills and knowledge with two delicious recipes on FOX Good Day New York.

See what Chima & Michele  had to say about their experience...
"In the beginning I was very nervous because this was my first time cooking on television. I was afraid something would go wrong or I would forget an ingredient or even what I planned to say. I felt this experience really re-enforced my public speaking skills to a whole new level. In the end I was super excited that I made it through the segment without any mistakes and had fun working with Michele and doing what I love; teaching others how to be conscience about creating better /healthier eating habits not just for themselves but also for the ones they love."-Chef Chima

"On Thursday September 30 I was lucky enough to go on the Fox 5 Street Talk show with Chima. I spoke about how obesity affected people and even some of my weaknesses before I had joined Teen Battle Chef. It was VERY nerve wrecking but in the end I felt much better. Most definitely a great experience that I don't regret. Thanks Teen Battle Chef!"- Chef Michele
