New Cooks in the Kitchen

A local chef shows Wayne teenagers some tips on making their own meals.

On Friday afternoon, something was smelling good in the kitchen of the Radnor A Better Chance house in Wayne. Chris Todd, owner of Christopher's, was helping a few Radnor High School students learn how to prepare meals for themselves. They made cookies from scratch, a salad with feta cheese and tomatoes, blackened chicken, polenta and mushrooms. Many times during the weekends the teenagers are left to their own devices for meals in the Radnor ABC House. If you want to volunteer to prepare a Sunday dinner for them, contact the ABC Program.
