#COOKINGWITHCOOKE

 During these unprecedented times, the NYC chef partners, who have donated their time and talents to our cause each year, are now facing challenges as a result of COVID-19 and social distancing precautions. In appreciation of their support, Cooke has launched #CookingwithCooke, an initiative that will highlight our chefs and give them a platform to promote causes that are important to them. We are very excited about this new endeavor, and the opportunity to give back where we can!

Chef Jim, head chef and owner of Cullenary Delights, was raised in an Italian-American home where food and family were the center of his life. Dinner time was sacred and Sunday dinners even more so. He learned the pleasure of a good home cooked meal from his Nonna and mom and watched them as they prepared holiday feasts, Sunday and weeknight meals and leftover transformations that many times outshined the original meal if that was even possible.

He wanted to help people to love cooking the same way he does and help them with menu planning, shopping strategies and creating simple delicious food, their friends and family will love.

Chef Jim’s has selected charity is Frontline Foods, a grassroots organization that raises money from the community to pay local restaurants to prepare meals for the heroes responding to the COVID-19 crisis.

David Waltuck has been passionately interested in food, restaurants, and the craft of cooking all his life. After graduating from City College, having majored in biology, he decided to pursue his dream of becoming a chef. He enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America, at the same time working at various restaurants, both upstate and in Manhattan.

David and his wife Karen, opened Chanterelle restaurant in Soho,  creating a unique and distinctly American style of food and service, revolutionary then, today the norm. David and Chanterelle received many accolades, and consistent top ratings for food and service from the Zagat guide.

After Chanterelle’s closing in 2009, David has owned and operated numerous very successful restaurants and he continued to enjoy sharing the knowledge he has gathered during his many years of working at the highest level of the culinary world.

As part of the #CookingWithCooke campaign, David shares his whole wheat bread recipe recipe to benefit an online cookbook being produced for sale by ROAR, with all proceeds going to restaurant workers who are without any source of income at this time.” You can support ROAR online at: www.roarnewyork.org.

Jonah Miller, chef/owner of East Village hot spot Huertas. Since 2014, Huertas has been serving up a Basque-inspired menu heavily influenced by the lively eating and drinking culture of Northern Spain. Jonah, a longtime industry vet, is a James Beard Semi-Finalist and was named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30.

On Sunday May 3 at 12PM, Chef Jonah will host a class to teach the technique to master Tortilla Española. This dish epitomizes Spain’s tapas culture and is the perfect centerpiece for a slammin’ Sunday brunch!  Jonah will be cooking alongside you in real time. You’ll be able to ask him questions directly and get feedback on your cooking (and your tortilla flip). This is a rare and intimate opportunity to cook with one of New York’s most exciting chefs. 100% of the proceeds from this event will go to supporting Huertas employees impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Register here!

Blue Hill at Stone Barns

Blue Hill at Stone Barns opened in 2004 with a mission to create a consciousness about the effect of everyday food choices. Sourcing from the surrounding fields and pasture, as well as other local farms, Blue Hill at Stone Barns highlights the abundance of the Hudson Valley. There are no menus at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Instead, guests are offered a multi-taste feast featuring the best offerings from the field and market.

In an effort to support their community of small, independent farmers, Blue Hill at Stone Barns are promoting an initiative they call resourcED–they’re boxes filled with high quality local, fresh and preserved vegetables and grains to provide for healthcare workers, seniors, families, and others in need.

NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY AS TO STUDENTS
Cooke School and Institute admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Dr. Mary Clancy

Associate Head of School, K-12

During her 18 years at Cooke, Mary wore many hats, and she made multitasking look easy. At times, an educator, school administrator, or mentor; at other times, a friend and cheerleader. But also a humorous, humble leader who cared deeply for every child, parent, and friend who passed through Cooke’s doors.

We honor Mary for the way she used all her talents to cultivate, create, and implement new programming, strategic initiatives, and organizational growth. As each year passed, our board, families, supporters and students had new, bold dreams, and Mary worked tirelessly to make those dreams a reality.

She looked forward to the future while still cherishing the presence and potential of each individual student, as they were, in the present moment. Right before she left, she said, “I am so proud of the work we do here. Know that even when I am not here in the building every day, I am always cheering for all of you, for all of Cooke, and for all the things yet to come.”

We honor Mary for her determination and insightful leadership; she exemplifies the Cooke spirit, and under her direction, our school became a “home” for generations of students. She helped us build community, and together we watched students learn and grow, spreading their wings and exploring the world of possibilities that lay before them.

Mary continues to play an important role at Cooke as an Education Consultant, while teaching undergraduate and graduate level courses as an Adjunct Professor at New York University and an Assistant Professor of Special Education at Empire State University.

Beyond her professional work, Mary remains a busy wife and mom. Both Jamie and Alice are steadfast Cooke supporters and can be seen at every school musical and basketball game. Her 9-year-old daughter Alice sums up her mom’s contributions best. In a recent writing assignment on “inspiration,” Alice described Cooke students as “nice, funny, creative and good people,” adding that her mom’s work as a “princable” inspires her to be her best self.

Sherri Shepherd

Cooke Transitions Parent, Internship Partner

Comedian, actress, author, and Daytime Emmy Award–winning talk show host Sherri Shepherd holds a title she values just as deeply: Cooke parent. Her son, JT, is a student in the Transitions program, where he is building the vocational and communication skills that define Cooke’s approach to young-adult success.

When JT joined Transitions, Sherri quickly became an active partner. After learning about Cooke’s vocational training model, she offered internship placements at her talk show studio. Over the past three years, Transitions students have joined her production team, contributing to a variety of projects, including distributing audience give-aways and designing cast & crew printed menus. These hands-on experiences reflect the real-world preparation at the heart of Cooke’s mission.

With a three-decade career spanning television hits such as 30 Rock, Friends, and Everybody Loves Raymond, as well as her current talk show, Sherri, film projects, podcast, and children’s book, Sherri has built a platform that reaches millions. She uses that platform not only to entertain, but to advocate for inclusion and opportunity.

Through her partnership with Cooke, Sherri helps ensure that students like JT gain the confidence, skills, and professional exposure needed to thrive beyond the classroom.
