Another Unique Conference Highlight

As part of our series of special conference events, we are excited to be welcoming Chef Wynnie Stein of the famed Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca, New York for our Celebrity Chef Special Event! This event will be held at the Milwaukee Public Market at 7:00pm on May 19th.

Chef Stein is a co-founder of the Moosewood Collective, and has been a cookbook author and chef for more than 20 years. The Moosewood philosophy emphasizes healthful natural cuisine and the use of fresh, local ingredients. For more than 33 years Moosewood Restaurant has been acclaimed as a driving force in the world of creative vegetarian cooking, and they were named one of the 13 Most Influential Restaurants of the 20th Century by Bon Appetit magazine.

The connection between healthy food and child abuse prevention is found around the dinner table. Nutritious family dinners provide the backdrop for strengthening connections between parents and children, sharing news of the day and bonding around the dinner table. Studies show that children who eat dinner with their families regularly are less likely to get involved with drugs and alcohol, tend to get better grades, and exhibit less stress.

Guests will be able to see a live cooking demonstration, sample dishes from Chef Stein's springtime menu, and receive recipes to try at home. Moosewood cookbooks to be signed by the chef will be available for purchase. Additionally, there will be a silent auction featuring cuisine, travel, and lifestyle items. The ticket price of $45 includes the cooking demonstration and tasting, as well as wine and cheese.

You may sign up on the conference registration form. If you have already registered for the conference but would like to add on this event, please contact Greer Thornton at gthornton@preventchildabuse.org to make payment arrangements. We hope to see you there!
