I’ve been volunteering with to teach cooking in schools for just over two years now as often as I can and every single time I do one of these classes I am filled with joy and hope 🫶🏻.
Hope for a kinder future for the animals, hope that it is possible to get kids excited about cooking with plants and in ways that are better for their own physical and mental health.
Joy because being around them is just purely that. The questions they ask, the curiosity they have, the open-mindedness they approach things with. They’re so willing to try things out. And finally it’s just plain fun - we laugh a lot.
I think all children deserve a better food system - one that offers them good nutrition and cheap, easy ways to do it themselves at home too, and for me that begins with schools, and showing them that plants can be rich, indulgent and delicious- you just have to show them what to do with them.
Was great fun teaming up with the super talented and engaging for this one too 🙌🏻
