Silicon Valley Reads, The San Jose Public Library Foundation and FIRST 5 Santa Clara County present

Yummy for Your Tummy with Chef LaLa & “Carrot Soup” Storytime

Celebrity Master Chef LaLa, author of “Yummy for Your Tummy” cookbook, is coming to Gilroy and San Jose for a FREE healthy cooking demonstration!

Chef LaLa will present a bilingual cooking demonstration for young children and their families. She will be assisted by her son, Maddox, age 3. Chef LaLa is a frequent guest on the “Today” show, and is spokesperson for the American Diabetes Association.

FIRST 5 Santa Clara County and Silicon Valley Reads recommend “Carrot Soup“ by John Segal for preschool children because it focuses on themes similar to the 2010 Silicon Valley Reads selection for adults: “In Defense of Food” by Michael Pollan. In “Carrot Soup,” youngsters follow the story of Rabbit who grows carrots in his garden for his favorite soup. The beautifully illustrated storyboard book even includes a carrot soup recipe.
