Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester Welcomes The Pampered Chef for Cooking Show Fundraiser

Mt. Kisco, NY (December 16, 2009) – Local food lovers recently gathered at the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester for a cooking show fundraiser presented by Penney Parkes from The Pampered Chef. The event was hosted by board member Maria Roach (of Pound Ridge).

Parkes prepared ingredients for a Harvest Chicken Salad using a variety of innovative kitchen tools. Guests learned cooking tips along the way and enjoyed sampling the results afterwards. The proceeds from all items purchased at the demonstration were donated to the Boys & Girls Club. Parkes, who has been a Pampered Chef kitchen consultant for more than 15 years, received an MS in Food Science from Cornell University.

The Pampered Chef has been helping to gather families around the table for quick, delicious meals that are as much fun to prepare as they are to eat. The business was launched in 1980 by company Founder and Chairman, Doris Christopher — an educator, home economist, and mother who saw the need for professional-quality kitchen tools in the everyday kitchen.
