A nurse by day, a mother and chef come night, Kira knows the value and potential impact of a wholesome, healthy meal. When she isn’t delivering babies at Cleveland Clinic’s Fairview birthing center, helping women assume the mantle of motherhood, she’s trying to instill the importance and impact of nutrition on her four children. Growing up with two parents who loved to experiment in the kitchen, the passion for food is deeply rooted. From preparation to feast, breaking bread with loved ones has always been important. Being the culinary director at the Village Project gives Kira an opportunity to guide young adults in the kitchen and to share her love with her community.
As Culinary Director, she oversees our kitchen program, designing menus that are both nourishing and delicious. Recipes are carefully selected; they are nutrient dense and are free from white flour and processed sugar.
Along with three complete meals that are delivered weekly to the entire family, clients also receive a wonderful herb and vegetable immunity broth. During periods of treatment, radiation and chemotherapy can diminish a client’s appetite and ability to swallow. Prepared weekly in our kitchen, this broth simmers for hours and provides essential nutrients so critical to maintaining the individual’s strength.
Stop by Project Shoppe on your way home and pick up a quick and healthy option for dinner tonight! Select Village Project meals are now available for purchase. You can also stock up on our herb and vegetable immunity broth. It’s a perfect base for your next homemade soup or a healthy and hydrating option for those going through treatment who may have little to no appetite.
Fresh entrees are individually packaged and available for $9 each (with protein) or $8 each (for vegetarian). Immunity broth is sold in 32 oz. pouches for $4 per bag. Meals and broth can easily be frozen for later use.
* Carryout meals are located in the cooler inside Project Shoppe and are available by 3:00 pm on Mondays. Meals will be available all week or until they sell out.
