Cooking With Love

The San Francisco Unified School District has been a recipient of a grant from the US Department of Agriculture to start a program called Chef in the Classroom.

I was asked to participate as a guest chef. The program is designed to expose kids most at risk for developing unhealthy eating habits (grades K-5) to eating more fruits and vegetables.

I made my famous San Francisco Sourdough Waffles which contain whole grain flour and oats and we served a variety of cut up fruits, vanilla yogurt and honey as toppings. Everyone had a good time and the teachers and students loved the whole idea. I did this four times, twice at Franklin Elementary School on Union Street, once at George Moscone Elementary on 21st and Harrison and then at Malcolm X Academy, all in San Francisco.
