Our Story

Celebrating 20 Years of Inspiring Healthy Lives

This year, Cooking With Gabby proudly celebrates its 20th Anniversary: two decades of empowering children and families to build healthier lives through nutrition, cooking, and active living.

The story of Cooking With Gabby began long before the organization was officially founded. Chef Steve and his daughter, Gabby, shared a dream of reducing the devastating impact of poor nutrition, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease on children and families. As early as 1996, they began preparing healthy meals together and sharing the benefits of nutritious eating and active lifestyles with their community.

In 2006, that dream became Cooking With Gabby, a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing health disparities by working with children and families in underserved communities where obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are especially prevalent.

Over the past 20 years, Cooking With Gabby has inspired and educated thousands of children and families, providing the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make healthier choices from an early age. As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to our founding mission: helping create healthier communities, one family, one meal, and one generation at a time.
