SUMMARY:Food for Thought: International Inspiration
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome back Chef Sank of Eat Krave Love\, who will demonstrate internationally inspired dishes while bringing cultures together through her cooking. Chef Sank\, a cancer survivor\, will cook two dishes using natural\, healthy ingredients. Samples of fusion dishes will be provided. \nAbout Chef Sank\nWhen I was young I was told it is a woman’s place to be in the kitchen. Ironically\, at the time\, the majority of the top chefs in the world were all men. Though\, I had always wanted to pursue my passion of cooking\, I was told that was not a real career for a woman\, just a job we did. It took me 16 years in the medical field\, to realize how many lives I could change by cooking. I now make it my mission to help people understand and care about what they put in their bodies\, while bringing cultures and cuisines together in the process. Although women have come a long way in terms of rights\, we have a long way to go. I feel the best way of getting us the equality we deserve in the world and especially the workplace is by lifting each other up and supporting one another to follow our passions. We will make greater strides in making a difference in the world with the love and encouragement from other female entrepreneurs. Bringing inventive fusion cuisine to your special event using the freshest ingredients and taking you on a flavorful and healthy adventure. \nThis event is part of the library’s Food for Thought event series. \nThe Food for Thought project was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities\, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this event do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or the New Jersey Council for the Humanities. \nRegister for this event
