Teachin’ Plants

Teachin’ PlantsIn the week leading up to Thanksgiving, I had the fun honor of teaching at my friend Tal’s after school program up in the Bronx not too far from the Botanical Gardens.

About Growing Chefs

Vegetarian and local and organic, oh my! Growing Chefs was founded in 2005 as a way to teach kids (and their parents!) about the delicious, wonderful ways in which food gets from the soil to the kitchen. Annie's love of plants is translated here into recipes using local ingredients and ideas from wherever she travels. Annie's philosophy is simple: "Broccoli is not boring!" Annie can be emailed at annie@growingchefs.org.
