I am very proud to announce that my husband and I welcomed our first child in December right before the holiday season! Baby Aidan is healthy and beautiful. While we are obviously running on none to little sleep, he has already proven to be a blessing.

What does this mean in terms of A Pinch of Salt cooking classes? Well I will be back to running group cooking classes and at-home classes as of this spring (early April).  In the meanwhile I will be creating menus reflecting seasonal spring cooking & ingredients.  Moreover, I will be developing classes for New Parents who wish to prepare wholesome foods for their little one as well as classes for Families who want to learn to cook together and prepare dishes that match their chaotic, but loving lifestyle!  

Based of her work as a OFL Chef at City Harvest, Raquel was asked to be a part of the lunch of Chefs Move to Schools a part Mrs. Obama's Let's Move campaign. The campaign's mission is to stop childhood obesity by 2015. In this case chefs will work closely with parents, teachers, school nutrition professionals and others to help educate children about food and nutrition. On June 4th Raquel and hundreds of other chefs nationwide had the honor of going to the White House lawn, touring the garden and being among fellow chefs and celebrity chefs alike. Among those attending this "historic day of food", as described by White House Chef Sam Kass, were Anne Burrell, Marcus Samuelsson, Aaron McCargo, Daniel Bould, Carla Hall, Tom Colicchio, Michael Laiskonis, Cat Cora, Lydia Bastianich, Art Smith and of course first lady Mrs. Michelle Obama. The event was a huge success and very inspirational! Keep track of Raquel's journey of Chef's Move to Schools on her blog This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
