OUR KIDS SAY:
"Sebastian you should serve what we created in your restaurant, and we better get credit."
-student at Pulaski International
"I really like this salad can you bring us the recipe so I can make it at home with my mom."
-student at The Montessori School of Englewood
"Dear Sebastian, Thank you for teaching me how to make new recipes through out this year. I have enjoyed math more since I transferred. I will definitely plan on using these recipes."
-student at Pulaski International
OUR TEACHERS SAY:
"Sebastian offers something quite unique and necessary to our students' holistic well-being; an opportunity to make stronger connections to themselves, each other, and their families through cooking. He offers a variety of hands-on culinary experiences tailored to their interests and cultures and takes his time establishing trusting relationships, never forcing the students to engage before they feel ready. He truly meets the kids where they're at and accepts them, which they can sense. The result is that students become gradually more confident not just in the kitchen, but in sharing their perspectives and using their voices. I highly recommend collaborating with Sebastian; your young people will greatly benefit."
