Cooking with the Wounded
It all began with one person working with Soldiers' Angels to cook a steak dinner for the wounded at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. Now it has grown into something more. Cooking with the Wounded is not just about cooking food for our troops, it is about cooking with them and even helping wounded veterans move into a new career!
Five Phases
Phase I: Steak Dinner at Landstuhl. Accomplished.
Phase II: The ladies at the Yellow Bowl Bakery do an event at Walter Reed and one at Landstuhl. Walter Reed event accomplished. Now raising money for Landstuhl event.
Phase III: Get other guest chefs to take part and make it a quarterly event at Landstuhl, with "practice" events to be held at various locations within the United States. Where possible, the events will allow wounded and others who want to help to do so.
Phase IV: Add in an educational component where the guest chefs discuss how they got started, different jobs within the restaurant and food industries, and running their own businesses.
Phase V: With the aid of chefs, food industry leaders, venture capitalists, and others: create a mentoring program for warriors who want to start their own food business; create a training program for wounded who want to learn a new job skill in the food industry; and, continue to foster quarterly or more frequent events to provide a variety of culinary experiences to our warriors, with a particular emphasis on the wounded and those downrange.

In Action
Your group's presentation and serving of an afternoon meal on 11/14 at Malogne House was of the highest regard and is sincerely appreciated. My son is recently returned from Afganistan with battle wounds, and is overcome with emotion at the incredible outpouring of support from virtually all he encounters. May the Lord bless all of you, and all that you do, in support of these warriors. Thank you again. - A military dad
