St. Luke’s University Health Network has launched Cooking for Baby & Me, a new video series to air on TV and online in partnership with sponsor Morris Black Designs of Allentown, PA.
Cooking for Baby & Me is filmed in a state-of-the-art kitchen designed, manufactured, installed, and donated by Morris Black Designs. Acclaimed chefs including Patrick Feury of Nectar, Yianni Arhontoulis of MICA and Anthony Bonett of Moshulu join St. Luke’s physicians such as Jennifer Janco, chief of Pediatrics and obstetrician/gynecologist Jami Avellini, among others. Together, they create simple, healthy and delicious meals to satisfy everyone in the family.
“Based on input from mothers looking to create healthy food for their infants, older children and spouses, we created a series of entertaining videos that pair famous chefs with our OB/GYNs and pediatricians,” says Ken Szydlow, St. Luke’s Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer.
“Good nutrition is the key to good mental and physical health,” adds Dr. Janco. “Eating a balanced diet is an important part of good health for everyone. The kind and amount of food you eat affects the way you feel and how your body works.”
Morris Black Designs: A Partnership Built Around Family
Morris Black Designs, the kitchen and bath arm of Morris Black & Sons, Inc., is a longtime supporter of St. Luke’s.
“The kitchen is the one place in your house that can feed the family and fuel the soul,” Robert Black, Vice-president of Morris Black Designs, said. “Cooking for Baby & Me provides the perfect opportunity to create a pediatrician-approved meal for the whole family. Our firm is pleased to participate in this meaningful project.”
