Q: What’s The Biggest Risk You’ve Ever Taken? How does it connect to helping others?

In the Kitchen at Tallulah’s by FEEST Intern, Adara Thao
For example, I had the shallots. I had to dice them into fine little pieces which was difficult at first because when you made cuts into the shallot and start chopping it would fall apart, but after a while with the help of Chef Walt and Elizabeth helping me along the way I was able to cut the shallots with more confidence.
Mise En Place at Tallulah’s by FEEST Intern, Mahala Provost
allulah’s invited FEEST to not only learn how to make one of the top selling dishes, we learned how to prep everything for the dish we learned what a productive and neat-clean kitchen should look like and we also learned how to make selfie magic.

Interview with Abla, Age 15 at Evergreen HS3 by Mariam Ali
I feel happy that FEEST is having the opportunity to change the school food menu. I am a Muslim and I am not able to eat pork or any other meat dish. I believe that if we change the school food menu we will be able to provide Muslim students with more satisfying Halal vegetarian options.
Youth Action Day by FEEST Intern, Adara
Youth Action Day was such an amazing event that I think every teen should at least experience something like it at least once in their life. They say that a lot of kids come out feeling changed and I can agree this has had an positive effect on me. This trip increased my confidence and awareness of the things happening around me.
Evergreen Campus, HS3- Sanyasen, 16
What cultural dish did you prepare tonight?
Tonight, I prepared the egg dish. This dish took a long time to prepare because it had many ingredients to it. One thing I loved from this dish was that it went well with the cultural bread called Jabaati. The dish was very good in taste although it took the most time to prepare.
Evergreen Campus HS3, Angela
What did u learn about before that u didn’t know before?
I learned that I can season the food with anything to make it tasty! Also that it’s important to try new foods and experiment with seasoning and flavors! Because adding something like salt or chili powder will out its inner flavor.
Show FEEST some love!
