Foundation For Culinary Arts

We had such a great time being featured on Fox 32 Chicago ! 🎥

Our Executive Director, Catherine De Orio sat down with Sylvia Perez to talk all about our Yes, Chef! Culinary Camp and the impact it’s had on students over the years.

It’s hard to believe this summer marks 10 years of helping young people build confidence, gain hands-on experience, and develop real-world workforce skills through our culinary camps. We couldn’t be more proud of the incredible students who have been part of this journey—and so grateful for the community that continues to support them. ❤️

Happy National Dessert Day! 🍰
One of my favorite sweet memories is when our whipped up Individual Jelly Roll Cakes with homemade strawberry jam and American buttercream. Yum! 🤤
