Established in 2008, Coqui the Chef® has provided innovative cooking demonstrations throughout the tri-state area promoting healthier alternatives to traditional Latino cuisine and introduce fine cuisine, nutritional information, and easy to cook recipes.
We have since been highlighted in the local media including Bronx News Channel 12, WPIX Channel 11 and the Daily News for providing Latino families with a fresh perspective on healthier eating and a fun mascot that stresses the importance of cooking as a family affair. Coqui the Chef® also seeks to make a difference in the eating habits and purchasing trends of youth via cooking demonstrations on YouTube video demonstrations, and online radio talk shows.
A special emphasis will be placed on engaging youth and their families by demonstrating easy to make snack foods. In addition, partnerships with local schools and/or recreational facilities near target food retail outlets will be developed to ensure reinforcement of educational messages gleaned from demos.
