The Family Dinner Project The brainchild of Shelly London, former fellow at Harvardâs Advanced Leadership Initiative, The Family Dinner Project is a growing movement that champions family dinner as an opportunity for family members to connect with each other through food, fun and conversation about things that matter.
Do you wish you could make a fun activity of cooking dinner with the kids the way those perfect families do it on TV? Tell us about it. Weâre looking for a family to participate in a cooking class Monday, July 25, as part of Family Meals Matter, a joint effort of Price Chopper and Cornell Cooperative Extension to remind families of the importance of sitting down to meals together. Children must be 9 or older. The class, where you will try recipes around the theme of âpower bowls,â will run from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at Market Bistro, 873 New Loudon Road. Your family must also be willing to be included in a story with photos in our 518Life magazine and in a video to be posted on timesunion.com.
