Real Men Cook with Kids®
Chef Marwin Brown and Chef Mick Guzman
We are pleased to have the cooks from Real Men Cook®, young fathers Marwin Brown and Mick Guzman, share some nutritional dishes and their recipes with you, straight from the Kenmore Studios, where our Real Men Charities, Inc. Real Men Cook with Kids® healthy cooking initiatives were featured. Enjoy the show segments and we encourage you to try these quick and simple dishes.
Marwin Brown shares his experience:
Our task was simple - create healthy, tasty, all family pleasing meals that could inspire men to extend their leadership into the kitchen. Important in this is that we wanted to continue the healthy families and communities mission of Real Men Charities, Inc. with one single menu to satisfy both kids and parents alike vs. having to cook two separate meals. So the question was could we deliver kid friendly fun factor with out sacrificing the necessary adult sophistication. To do those we created a three course meal. For our starters we chose a combo of soups - Carrot Ginger and Cauliflower Leeks. Then for the main course we came with Mick's "Ghetto" meatballs and spaghetti with homemade sauce. As a side we served roasted grapes and brussel sprouts. We closed the show with a fruit salad dessert featuring cherries and peaches in a balsamic syrup.
