About Carrie Shankweiler

I have been a teacher for over fifteen years, both in a classroom and in my home. For me, the best part about teaching is inspiring children to reach beyond themselves, take risks and experience the extraordinary in a way that will enrich their lives. Throughout the past decade, I know that my influence has been the most profound during the time my students spend Cooking With Carrie.

I come from a long line of cooks and bakers who all used fresh, quality ingredients in everything they prepared. Now, more than ever, I am an avid proponent of natural, healthy eating. I am dedicated to inspiring children and adults to prepare beautiful and delicious, healthy meals for their families. I love to help children become better aware of their food choices and the difference those choices will make in the quality of their lives.

I am currently finishing up my first cookbook, which is a companion to the 30 original shows I taped for Comcast’s Activity TV, very simple, totally quick and delicious family-friendly recipes. As soon as it hits the shelves, my new cookbook, filled with recipes for holidays and celebrations, will be on its way!
