two flowers

March 18, 2014 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

Broccoli and cauliflower are good breakfast vegetables because after eating them, we emerge with an open mind and an open heart. How? We eat the flowers of the broccoli and cauliflower plants. Flowers open to reveal what is inside, and  we assume this openness as we chew them.    IMG_4303

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

I’m very impressed by all the elements you are able to pack into the lesson without it seeming at all overwhelming: the review, the actual cooking skills, the creativity of coming up with their own dishes, the chance to present their creations, the opportunity to learn about and share thoughts on something else (in last week’s case, the feelings represented in the book), the execution of their  jobs, the responsibility for one’s station/implements and the overall following of directions…..all without losing the fun quotient. No wonder the kids love coming!  You’ve really created something special so kudos to you!
