Young adults cooking in Life's Kitchen.

Serving second chances: that's the mantra of Life's Kitchen, a nonprofit that has taught culinary and life skills to over 900 young adults over the past two decades.

Along with 575,000 hours of job training in the kitchen, Life's Kitchen also cooks meals in their restaurant for more than one million people in need.

The organization has been recognized by the Jacques Pépin Foundation, which was created by this Master Chef to support "free culinary and life skills training" through grants to community organization around the country.

Tammy Johnson, Executive Director of Life's Kitchen, joined Idaho Matters to talk more!

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
