The Brooke Jackman Foundation is thrilled to announce the launch of Brooke's Cooks! Our newest initiative is designed to promote literacy, learning and family, while encouraging healthy living among at-risk children and their families in the New York City area.    

 

With programming led by Spoons Across America, attendees engaged in a discussion about eating seasonally and locally, and the children learned how to properly measure ingredients and cut safely.The group then made a salad and homemade vinaigrette with fresh ingredients, including vegetables and herbs the children picked from the St. Nicks garden. Each child also went home with a copy of Salad People by Molly Katzen as well as a handout with nutritious recipes to make at home with their families.

 

Through Brooke's Cooks, the Brooke Jackman Foundation hopes to continue inspiring children to live a literate life. The next Brooke's Cooks event will be held on Thursday, October 9, at the YM&YWHA in Washington Heights. Another event is being planned in November.
