Look inside this bag! We packed up nectarines, oranges, mangos, apples, tomatoes, cucumbers, canned beans, pasta, and fresh breads and baked goods from Levain Bakery and sent every middle schooler home with one 🥭🍊🍅. Chef Genny even whipped up a delicious fresh salad using some of the same ingredients in the bags.

This is what nourishing and educating Bronx youth looks like.

Big shoutout to Fordham University’s Liberty Partnerships Program for creating enriching programs that support health and wellness — keep up the amazing work!

Fresh food and real skills — that’s how we do it at Bronx Eats.

Thank you to our partners at Liberty Partnerships at Fordham University for a great day of nourishing and empowering Bronx youth! 💚🍎

Today, Bronx middle and high school students took home bags filled with fresh and pantry staples, including apples, cucumbers, mandarins, tomatoes, pasta, tomato sauce, and delicious homemade baked goods and breads from Levain Bakery.

Students also joined Chef Genny for an interactive cooking demonstration, where they learned how to transform some of these ingredients into a fresh, flavorful salad with a homemade maple mustard chili dressing! It’s all about building confidence in the kitchen while making healthy eating accessible, fun, and delicious.

We’ll see you next week for more food bags and another cooking demo!

At Bronx Eats, we’re committed to connecting young people with fresh food, practical cooking skills, and opportunities to thrive.

Bronx Eats and Chef Aifra introduced Textured Vegetable Protein Tostadas to this enthusiastic crowd—and they loved them!

Through engaging cooking demonstrations in both Spanish and English, participants learn how plant-based foods can be packed with healthy protein—even more than many people realize. The best part? Seeing everyone leave with delicious, colorful tostadas and big smiles.

Last class for students at IS 229 = no-bake banana date bites!
These looked seriously professional. Students topped them with ground walnuts, coconut, and chocolate — and the vote for favorite was very close 😋— yum! Thank you, Chef Rebecca!

Middle school students at IS 229 learned how to make their third plant-based recipe in less than two weeks—this time by preparing Chef Rebecca’s Veggie Stir Fry with Tofu and Herbed Lemon Rice!

It’s never too early to learn how to put together a delicious meal from scratch. This recipe pops with bold flavors and fresh ingredients, including ginger, garlic, parsley, tamari, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds—the students loved every bite.

Bronx Eats builds confidence in the kitchen while expanding palates and increasing familiarity with fruits, vegetables, and plant-based proteins. We are shaping the eating habits of the future!

Chef Rebecca explained to these middle schoolers how plants have protein too — and beans are a powerhouse source!

Some students started out skeptical… but by the time the tastings were served, they were coming back for seconds and thirds. That’s what we call culinary success!

Go IS 229 students! We will be back next week for more culinary adventures!
