🍝❤️ A Vacation with a Purpose!
While visiting Israel on vacation, Master Chef Gershon Schwadron of Boca Raton, Florida, (www.chefgersh.com) chose not to spend his time just relaxing. Instead, he came to Laniado Hospital in Netanya to share his culinary expertise with our dedicated kitchen staff.
Chef Gershon led a special workshop for our chefs and sous chefs and then joined them in preparing a delicious, child-friendly spaghetti and meatball meal for young patients in our Pediatric Department. Every meal served at Laniado is carefully planned to meet the unique dietary needs of children with a wide range of medical conditions.
Chef Gershon was deeply impressed by the professionalism and dedication of the entire kitchen team, who lovingly prepare nearly 3,000 meals, three times a day, for patients and staff.
A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Chef Gershon shared:
«"I simply love teaching others the fine art of food preparation and presentation. Bringing a smile to the faces of sick children enjoying spaghetti and meatballs brought joy to my heart. It was the best thing I could have done with my vacation."»
Thank you, Chef Gershon, for reminding us that kindness, compassion, and a delicious meal can be powerful ingredients in the healing process. 💙
