This #ThankfulThursday, we’re giving a big thank-you to Elaine Maisner for sharing her love of cooking with TABLE!

🍕 Elaine has spent a lifetime in the kitchen, from cooking alongside her mother and working as a college co-op head cook to baking at Tassajara Bread Bakery and cooking professionally at Greens in San Francisco. But just as much as she loves cooking, Elaine loves sharing what she knows with kids and helping them discover the joy of being in the kitchen, too! During her recent cooking class with TABLE, kids got to make their own pizzas while learning basic kitchen skills, including how to safely cut onions, tomatoes, and other ingredients. There was plenty of cooking, plenty of learning, and, of course, plenty of pizza to enjoy! We’re so thankful to Elaine for giving her time, sharing her skills, and creating such a fun, hands-on experience for our kids. Her passion for cooking and teaching truly made this class special. ❤️ Interested in volunteering at a future TABLE event? We’re looking for a volunteer who is comfortable in the kitchen and using sharp knives to help during an upcoming youth cooking class! Check out our specialty volunteer shifts at volunteer.TABLEnc.org
