Of Intern Kika Eller: "Kika really blossomed in the kitchen. She would get creative in the kitchen. It was amazing to have Kika. She kept growing and mastering new skills. I can't wait to see what she does with her career."

Of Sprouts’ 2022 Benefit Gala at Mister Jiu’s: “Some of the Bay Area’s most notable culinary luminaries lent their star power to help nonprofit Sprouts Chef Training reach its fundraising goals at its March 13 gala… The event was both a celebration of San Francisco’s vibrant culinary scene as well as the inspiring graduates of the Sprouts Chef Training Program.”

The Sprouts Chef Training Program gives back. I didn’t really have that growing up, so I wanted to make sure that once I had my own place I could do that for somebody.

“Sprouts unites a versatile group of people who are actively working to make every class, program, and child’s experience better… TechSoup is proud to support Sprouts in achieving its mission.”

Being a chef is a responsibility. It is the responsibility of transferring information from one generation to another.

“The Sprouts mission is pretty simple, yet aims for robust results… [Sprouts Chef Training] strives to teach Bay Area kids and teens from all social and economic backgrounds not just how to cook, but also how to cook with hands-on guidance from real chefs, using honest ingredients and in real restaurants as much as possible.”
