On April 17, students competed in the "Battle of the Baskets" cooking competition organized by New York Edge, an initiative aimed at providing after-school programs to students from disadvantaged communities. The event featured teams using mystery ingredients—similar to Food Network's "Chopped"—to create dishes judged on taste, presentation, safety, and creativity. Shelby Conn highlighted the importance of teaching students not only culinary skills but also healthy choices through fun and engaging activities. This annual event showcases the students' talents while fostering community and resilience.
Food is a universal language... Regardless of where they're from, what their cultural backgrounds are, what their families do, what their socioeconomic status is - food is a language.
Battle of the Baskets allows students to learn crucial cooking skills and encourages them to make healthy food choices in a fun environment.
