The Kitchen & Beyond
What Starts in the Kitchen Doesn’t Stay There
The Kitchen and Beyond is The SUM Foundation’s hands-on cooking program. Designed for children 12 years and older who are often left on their own, learning to feed themselves is not just a skill but an act of independence and confidence. Every class teaches a recipe that they can recreate at home. We believe that cooking skills correlate to life skills.

Every Recipes Teaches Something More

Hard Work: Chopping, measuring, and following through until the meal is complete
Perseverance: Making mistakes and trying again
Self Reliance: The confidence of knowing they can take care of themselves
We believe that these are lessons a cookbook can’t provide. They are refined through practice and the pride of a finished meal.
