Family Fun in the Kitchen
Nothing brings family together more than preparing and sharing a meal.
Learn more below about how The Sylvia Center can empower you and your kids in the kitchen.
Dear Sylvia Center Community,
As we all adjust to the new norm of social distancing and remote work and learning, we know that families are looking for fun and educational activities to do together.
That’s where we come in.
Last week, we launched our new Sylvia Center virtual kitchen with a growing library of content that includes video cooking tutorials for families with kids of all ages. Each video demonstrates how to prepare healthy, nutritious meals together to help grow skills for healthy eating and cooking. Plus they are super scrumptious!
Check out Chef Theresa Morelli and her three-year-old niece walk through our delicious banana bread recipe here.
We’ll be sharing videos from our team of amazing chefs on our website and our social media channels – Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter – twice a week, as well as fun and safe activities you can do with your family.
Join us in our virtual kitchen and create deeper impact by:
- Liking and sharing our videos with friends and family
- Tagging us in your own videos when you cook or try our recipes
- Helping us continue our important work by making a gift today
We know that these times are stressful for families – parents and children alike. The Sylvia Center is committed to sharing resources and activities to help us get through this, together.
Wishing you health and togetherness in the kitchen,
Jennifer John
Executive Director
