"Nourish beginnings, let us nourish beginnings. Not all things are blest, but the seeds of all things are blest. The blessing is in the seed." --Muriel Rukeseyer
Gourmet Chef Serves the Needy
Chef Michael Ennes cooks about 500 meals a week for people who come to Broadway Community Inc., a soup kitchen in New York that serves the homeless. Ennes made good on his intentions to do more volunteer work when his high-end restaurant consultancy job vanished on 9/11. On joining the soup kitchen, he transformed it into a gourmet haven for the needy, using some of the finest ingredients available. Ennes teaches cooking, nutrition and food service skills to the homeless, some of who in turn help prepare meals. And there are no lines -- volunteers set each of Ennes's delicious courses in front of diners. "This is by far the best job I ever had," says Ennes. "And that's because there are no other jobs you can get, where people bless you as you walk down the street."
