Students are thrilled to create an entire meal for their families, set the table, sit down, & enjoy a family meal during a busy week. To us, cooking can take a learner who may be frustrated with traditional learning methods & allow them to blossom & grow. We love to take our students to a new world in the kitchen; one where they are in charge of feeding their families & are truly proud of their creations. The evidence is in the delicious bites, the smiling faces, & the sense of accomplishment that we see after every lesson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bed0ad6914a529ef1f733/1613499939219-PZAOKRTQSJ6RP722FBJX/IMG_0752.jpg About - MADELINE DUDEK, FOUNDER Madeline wanted to blend her background as an NYC public school teacher & combine it with her passion for cooking. After changing careers to become a chef, Madeline attended the International Culinary Center in Soho & went on to work at the Michelin Starred Gramercy Tavern. She started A Plate of Mind with the idea that kids from all learning backgrounds should have a chance to experience the joy that comes from cooking. Seeing the pride & confidence that comes from producing a tangible, delicious meal is evidence that this program works. https://www.aplateofmind.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2021-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bed0ad6914a529ef1f733/1619751329343-G1CZIOACSXNTFFJVMEC6/IMG_3301.jpg Testimonials - “We have been working with Maddie for a few years and are impressed with so much! Maddie started working with our then 10-year-old son and over time he has truly become a chef! She taught him basic skills such that Tuesday nights are now his night to make our family dinner and I am comfortable - and excited - in every way! Together they design the menu, prepare the grocery list and cook. The meals are creative and he has learned to improvise and be flexible. He has developed basic and sophisticated techniques and skills and honed his own tastes and preferences. He has developed a new love of foods he previously would never have touched along with organizational skills to plan and cook an entire meal from start to finish (including clean up!) Most recently, we had Maddie herself cook the dinner for our son's Bar Mitzvah and every detail was to perfection... it was absolutely delicious! I cannot rave about Maddie enough. She is an excellent chef and an incredible teacher and a pleasure in our lives!” — Nancy L. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bed0ad6914a529ef1f733/1619748823249-XZTG2ZRKUTQLQ32MOS3V/unsplash-image-my1mDMraGf0.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bed0ad6914a529ef1f733/1619751062184-3N47ZRN1WPS4RXXHJFD2/IMG_2020.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bed0ad6914a529ef1f733/1619748635891-6E19ESAHBJHHISEX3OW6/195D9C97-0992-4C44-AB56-15B81626FDF5.JPG Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bed0ad6914a529ef1f733/1619750726730-XC82ZH4EXV8PEXILQWY3/unsplash-image-7MAjXGUmaPw.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bed0ad6914a529ef1f733/1619750807088-AQMZE5TGI5TRPFO8RL9N/IMG_3193.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bed0ad6914a529ef1f733/1619751117712-DGZHBCXGK6IXCHOLLWJD/093E0117-BABE-4858-8D05-CA4A2AD2FF74.JPG Testimonials https://www.aplateofmind.com/services daily 0.75 2024-04-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bed0ad6914a529ef1f733/1613503528677-FXGOH96KVO993GU7WHK5/unnamed.jpg Services - IN PERSON Your child's culinary education can be customized to fit his or her needs.
