Special thanks to Chef Robert Wood, @ecocatersdc and @mysuperfd for preparing the amazing 3-course meal for our virtual 8th Annual Taste of the Garden. During the cooking portion of our event, Chef Robbie invited Kid Power instructors and supports into his kitchen to help in the preparation of three creative meals using the hidden hero of the garden...carrots!
Carrot Peel Soup, Moroccan Chicken with Peas & Carrots, and Raw Carrot Cake with Cashew Cream Frosting. After watching the cooking demos, guests voted on their favorite dish and the top voting dish was...Moroccan Chicken with Peas & Carrots with 127 votes!
If you received a meal kit at home or made it yourself with your family, let us know what you thought, better yet tag Chef Robbie and his talented team. Also, thank you to Brittany, Marquis, and Alexa for joining us in the kitchen and all of our volunteers for delivering the meal kits. You are AWESOME!

We cannot say THANK YOU enough! To all of our supporters, sponsors, and new friends, thank you for joining us virtually for our 8th Annual Taste of the Garden. Last night we raised a total of $13,013 to ensure that our programs remain strong and thriving for the students who are getting increasingly disconnected, experiencing trauma and instability during these uncertain times.
Although the event is over, there is still time to join us in strengthening the voice of our local children so that they can too reach beyond their communities and build a strong Washington, DC.
