Sautéing and Stirring into Spring...
Spring has sprung and we're busy arranging new partnerships and classes for summer across five different Bay Area counties. 

We are gearing up to be in San Manteo County, San Francisco, Marin City and Novato. A huge thank you goes to our new partners for their support, we're glad for the opportunity to be reaching even more at-risk kids and teens.

As always, another thank you goes to you our loyal donors and supporters. You’re helping us show more and more vulnerable kids and teens how to eat healthy for LIFE, and we’re so glad you’re behind us. THANK YOU!
Help an At-Risk Child Attend Summer Camp
Donate to Kids Cooking for Life so at-risk kids can attend educational summer camps and gain experiential learning through hands on cooking. We have partnered with six exceptional organizations who are committed to providing free, safe and fun learning spaces for kids from low-income families during the summer. This greatly improves a student's chances of gaining college admission and/or a chance at vocational training and a successful career.

Any amount will help.

$25 sponsors one child to enjoy one lesson.
$250 sponsors one child for an entire summer.

THANK YOU for your generosity. You are helping to improve lives and shape brighter futures. Every donation is significant, and we couldn't do our important work without you.
Thank You to Our Kind Sponsors
An outsized THANK YOU to Marin Charitable who have been generously funding us since 2012!

We are beyond grateful to Marin Charitable for helping to change young lives for the better.
Meet Mitzi Baker
Mitzi believes that teaching kids to eat right when they’re young greatly improves their future health prospects.

She started out in a career in scientific research with a background in molecular biology from Johns Hopkins University. Mitzi worked in a lab at UCSF before attending graduate school for science communication. After 20 years of writing, primarily for universities and medical schools, she took a leave from writing in early 2020 to “take a few classes in nutrition.” Fast forward, she now has two associate degrees and two certificates in the field of nutrition. Her goal is to find the most fun, engaging ways to integrate tidbits of science and nutrition concepts into the cooking experience, and is thrilled to have the opportunity to be teaching with Kids Cooking for Life.

In addition to KCL classes, Mitzi is an invaluable member of our team involved in recipe development and grant writing.
Best Ever Vegetarian Fajitas
This healthy variation on the delicious South American classic is loaded with fresh vegetables including a rainbow combo of peppers, topped off with guacamole. Beans provide the main protein, while paprika, chilli and cayenne enhance flavor and give it a bit of kick.

Our fajitas are satiating and quick to make, and, most importantly, have been a big hit with our students.

Enjoy! You'll be wanting to make this one more than once!
