About Us/What We Do

Culinary Connections, a nonprofit founded by Anglee Brown and Chef Andarrio Johnson, the owners of Cuzzo's Cuisine, introduced a daily lunch program for children amidst the COVID pandemic. This display of compassion and generosity emphasizes the significance of communal assistance and fostering pathways for all individuals to succeed, setting a remarkable example for making a positive difference.

The daily lunch program provided by Culinary Connections serves as a beacon of hope during these challenging times, ensuring that no child in need goes hungry. Anglee  and Chef Johnson's dedication to helping others showcases the power of collaboration and kindness within a community. By creating opportunities for success through nourishment and support, they are not only feeding bodies but also feeding dreams. This initiative exemplifies the beauty of humanity coming together to uplift one another and create a brighter future for all.

 Culinary Connections is an organization that firmly believes in the importance of ensuring that every child in our community has access to nutritious meals. By supporting underprivileged children, we aim to contribute to their overall well-being and development. Through our dedicated efforts, we strive to make a positive impact by offering not just food, but also introductions to life skills and career paths through our culinary classes.

Our kid's cooking class is a delightful blend of learning and fun. The class is led by Chef Andarrio of Cuzzo's Cuisine, who instructs the students in the foundational kitchen skills needed for daily life and introduces them to culinary careers. In the class, we provide hands-on training in everything from how to handle sharp knives safely to kitchen and sanitation safety, including instruction on how to use food thermometers, proper measuring techniques, and the use of mini stoves. 

Culinary Connections strives to significantly impact the community by empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to make healthier food choices and prepare nutritious meals for themselves and their families
