Highlights on the Student Kitchen
The Student Kitchen is a nonprofit focused on culinary education for New York City middle and high school students. The goal of the program is to equip students with the confidence and the skills to cook for themselves and families, make healthy choices, and better understand where their food comes from. Through live demos and workshops, The Student Kitchen works hands on with participants at their schools and in their communities. They also assist with mutual aid efforts and community projects.
Currently, The Student Kitchen runs two weekly programs, at Flushing International High School and at the El Puente EPIC center. Here, they are building students’ culinary skills and moving into more complex recipes each week. At the same time, they are introducing students to seasonal produce, explaining how to make substitutions to recipes, and encouraging them to be creative in the kitchen.
Ben Averbuch is the Founder of The Student Kitchen.
