Piccolo Chef
LaFern Cusack speaks with Co-Founders of Piccolo Chef Lilian Palmieri and Tina Fanelli Moraccini about how kids cook up nutritious and delicious meals in their cooking school especially made for them! http://piccolochef.com/What is Piccolo Chef?
We’re a cooking school for kids – and their grownups – in Los Angeles. Our mission is delicious, nutritious cooking for kids and their grown-ups.
School lunches are largely not nutritious. In fact, Congress has just passed new legislation to address the problem. Local school districts are trying to solve the problem. And meanwhile, our families are under financial and time pressures that result in our children eating poorly – and that impacts all of us. Our health, our family life.
And by the way, we’re helping families to reignite the love in their kitchens. We grew up with mom cooking wonderful foods everyday – with pots simmering and great foods sauté-ing. Now so much of our meals come from fast food restaurants and microwave ovens – and we’re all feeling the health problems.
Why did you decide to create Piccolo Chef?
We’re both moms. We had young children. And we were concerned that our kids were getting bombarded with ads for fast food that was less-than-healthy. And as working moms, we were concerned about all of our friends in a similar boat. Stressed. No time. Financially challenged. With kids who were getting hooked on junk food. So we thought… what if we opened our own schools that focused on nutritious, delicious cooking for kids – and their grownups.
Tina and Lilian were working together at the Italian Consulate in Los Angeles and decided to quit their jobs two years ago. Opened Piccolo Chef in Culver City in a rented space that had an organic garden and a kitchen where we could hold classes.
What was the reaction?
Moms and their kids loved it! And we were honored with the “BEST COOKING SCHOOL in L.A.” in L.A. Magazine and then LA Parent Magazine. Then “BEST BIRTHDAY PARTY” in LA Parent Magazine. Edible Los Angeles Magazine did a big feature story on Piccolo Chef. We were asked to be part of the “GOT MILK” campaign to talk about how to help moms with picky eaters. You want your kid to eat Broccoli? Come to Piccolo Chef. We showed children how to plant, prepare, cook and enjoy eating every kind of healthy and delicious food.
So much is being reported about what’s called “Dia-besity” among American children. Sounds like you’re helping in your own way to combat the unhealthy eating problems facing our families.
Absolutely. We’re very concerned about the problem – and working every day on the solution. Diabetes and Obesity in children have increased nearly 30 percent every decade for the past several decades. We need to teach our children how to eat healthy, how to appreciate the positive impact of whole foods on our bodies, and the discipline of wonderful cooking, food preparation, growing, - and LOVING what we eat.
So where does Piccolo Chef go from here?
Well… our classroom is exploding onto the Internet. From brick and mortar classes to everyone everywhere on the WEB with Piccolochef.com. Our new website goes up on Monday with wonderful webisodes - we call them momisodes – that are charming stories with celebrity guests all about healthy, delicious recipes that are simple to make for the family.
And our school is growing. We’re at Surfas in Culver City. And starting next month, we’ll be holding classes, camps and birthday parties at the Farmer’s Market Kitchen in Hollywood at Vine and Selma.
