2005 Days of Taste by AIWF NY Chapter on 2005-11-15

The program has significantly expanded from 2004, as illustrated by the facts and figures below.  We worked with an additional three schools, many more volunteers and now have three participating schools in Brooklyn, an increase from one Brooklyn school in the 2004 program.

This year, Days of Taste was conducted in 14 New York City public schools throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn.  The schools were located in the following neighborhoods: Lower East Side, Greenwich Village, Murray Hill, Upper West Side, Harlem and Washington Heights in Manhattan; Williamsburg, Cobble Hill, and Park Slope in Brooklyn.

We have partnered with numerous culinary organizations to outreach to potential chef, food professional, and Greenmarket tour guide volunteers.  Because of the generous efforts and enthusiasm of these organizations, we were able to reach our goal of accommodating 65 classes for the 2005 program. 

Many thanks to the Institute of Culinary Education, New York University, The Art Institute of New York, The James Beard Foundation, French Culinary Institute, The American Institute of Wine & Food – New York Chapter, New York Women’s Culinary Alliance, New York City College of Technology, Just Food, Added-Value, and Greenmarket Farmers Market.
