Setting good eating behaviors starts at a young age. That's why Chefs for Impact teamed up with Chef Casey Baker to present the students of New York City schools and local community centers the opportunity to get to know their fruits and vegetables through a workshop of fun hands-on learning activities, taste-testing and the A, B, Cs of seasonality. These were the first of many in-person workshops to come!

CASEY BAKER: CHEF AMBASSADOR & FOOD EDUCATOR
Chef Casey Baker is no stranger to food education. The Joel Robuchon, Jean Georges, and Danny Meyer alum started Dinein, a meal delivery service designed to bring fine dining recipes and techniques to people’s kitchens with step-by-step instructions, showcasing local ingredients. Most importantly, he has a passion to share his food knowledge with kids on how to eat local. So collaborating with Chef Casey was a perfect match! Tap HERE to read the full Q&A.
GET TO KNOW THE STRAWBERRY
These students got an up close and personal look at the strawberry – from seed to stem, and from touch to taste. Through this series of sensory and hands-on activities, the kids had the opportunity to better understand all the aspects of this seasonal fruit.
TIME TO EAT!
Chef Casey, with help from Miss Strawberry, prepared a refreshing strawberry smoothie and delicious chicken and strawberry sandwich for the kids to enjoy!
