A Taste of Italy

August 22, 2016

The tomato plants in Schurig Center’s therapeutic garden are producing a bounty of fruit this year! Today the participants in our therapeutic program harvested the basil and tomatoes from the garden and then prepared tomato mozzarella tarts and tomato basil bruschetta. Bellisimo!

Once a month, Schurig Center participants don their chef hats and embark into a world filled with measuring, stirring, baking, cooking and tasting. In Life Skills Cooking Class, participants come together to learn and grow through the art of preparing delicious food while also rebuilding and strengthening cognitive and motor skills.

Life Skills Cooking Class

May 2015

Once a month, BINBA clients don their chef hats and embark into a world filled with measuring, stirring, baking, cooking and tasting.

In Life Skills Cooking Class, clients come together to learn and grow through the art of preparing delicious food.

Today, clients made (and ate) chicken pot pie.

Meanwhile, in art therapy class, the directive for the group was to create an image art of a familiar place that also represents safety.

Ted created this image and wrote:
“BINBA is a quiet warm place that evokes brilliance – Safe and Familiar.”
