Cooking Show

Synopsis

A filmed and edited cooking show with a Host that will showcase the abilities of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Each episode will have three contestants with IDD who will follow a recipe, but will be given the opportunity to add to it and make it their own. Each contestant will have a Support Partner (think Unified Sports!) to assist as needed. The process will be timed and at the end a panel of judges will test the final product. There will be three awards presented: Best Presentation | Best Use of Flavors | Most Creative. Our panel of judges will include guest judges and various community members. Top tier sponsors will have the opportunity to be a guest judge! All food handling & health safety protocols will be in place.

Goal

The D.I.S.H. Foundation's mission is to employ and educate individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This show will give these individuals an opportunity to learn and refine cooking skills in a supportive and fun environment while also giving the community an opportunity to see firsthand how talented and amazing these individuals are!

Why?

This amazing show will provide feel good entertainment in a time when many are spending more time at home and looking for the good in our community and society. It will also provide an opportunity for much needed human interaction during a time when our most vulnerable are feeling isolated. We would love to have you join us in this adventure!
