And so it begins... Brainfood is back and bigger than ever!

On September 22nd and September 23rd Brainfood opened it's kitchen doors for its 10th year of after school programming. The kitchens at our Columbia Heights and Chinatown locations were once again full of energetic youth ready to cook, bake, eat, learn and serve! This year Brainfood set new records with the most students who signed up to be part of our programs. We tried to fit as many students as we could into our 4 classes although we were forced to put some students on the wait list. With over 90 students enrolled, Carina and I begun the process of grocery shopping for some of the largest classes we've even had at Brainfood. On the first day of class, our 4 classes combined baked over 29 batches of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies - that's over 370 cookies! We have just finished our 5th week of class and have already tackled how to measure "the Brainfood way," lowfat & vegan baking, working with pizza dough, making healthy sandwiches, and learning knife skills. We are off to a yummy start!
