"It’s probably not a surprise that many of our staff and volunteers have worked (or still work) in restaurants and bars. Of course, the VCP team loves food, but we also love connecting with people through food. While I was kicking some of this around in the office, I checked in with two of our long-time educators turned program managers who, like me, also worked in restaurants prior to working at Vetri Community Partnership."

Ever wonder what future medical professionals really think about culinary medicine?

Meet Sooji, a fourth year medical student who is back in the Teaching Kitchen for another semester of Culinary Medicine classes with Vetri Community Partnership!

We are honored to teach future doctors, physicians, and medical professionals nutrition education to build their confidence in the kitchen and with future patients.

Each week in schools and community centers across Philadelphia and Camden, Vetri Cooking Lab students are trying new foods, building practical cooking skills, and gaining the confidence to make nutritious choices for themselves and their families.

From first-time bread bakers to practicing knife skills, Vetri Cooking Lab students have been cooking up confidence all semester long. Here are some things we overheard in the classrooms this month!

This week, Vetri Cooking Lab students from six different schools gathered in the Teaching Kitchen for the Middle School Cook Off. 🌟

Split into four different teams, students came together to go head to head in a “Chopped” style competition, and this time the mystery ingredient was cinnamon. They had 50 minutes to plan and cook their meals with the array of ingredients provided. Three judges rated each team’s dish based off of teamwork, taste, texture, color, and the use of the mystery ingredient. It was a close competition, and while all of the teams did a fantastic job, came in first place overall for their incredible efforts! Great work chefs!

At this year’s Friends of Marc Dinner, Community Cooking Class participant Steven Duong was kind enough to join us to share all about his and his daughter Ava’s experience in the Teaching Kitchen over the last couple of years. Through hands-on cooking classes and welcoming spaces built around shared meals, Steven reflects on how Vetri Community Partnership helped his daughter become a more adventurous eater while creating deeper connections with others in the community.
