“These placemat worksheet focus on seasonality but seasonality isn’t just better tasting and more nutritious food. Seasonality is an appreciation for what you have, seeing the beauty in what you have, seeing the infinite possibilities in what you have. Thats what we’re trying to do at TEN… help young people experience this not just with food but how they view themselves”

We’re truly grateful for the beautiful food presented yesterday by incredible chefs and even better people as we launch our summer placements in partnership with the distinguished chef Sarah Stegner .stegner . Thank you to our sponsors Lurie’s Children’s hospital and Boelter.

You can find the placemats in select restaurants across the city this summer.

Our next farmers market takes place at William H. Ray Elementary School, bringing farmers, chefs, and students back into shared space through food, participation, and community.

Students will once again work alongside The Evolved Network helping organize, prepare, and serve food while engaging directly with the people growing and cooking it.

Grateful to the chefs, farms, educators, and partners continuing to help build this with us.

I can’t begin this without giving a huge shout out to Joe Weber and for sponsoring this iteration of Project T.E.N. cooking kits with their beautiful Lion’s Mane mushrooms.

This week we delivered kits to students from our partner school Chicago Jesuit Academy with everything needed to prepare Roasted Lion’s Mane Mushrooms with Quick Grits and Sumac Chimichurri alongside Chef Sebastian at home.

Project T.E.N. invites students and their families to cook together, explore new flavors, and create moments of connection around the table.

The recipe video is now available on YouTube.

If you’re interested in sponsoring or having a bonding activity with your company or amongst friends to help us pack our next iteration please feel free to reach out!
