CITY - Monday, May 27, 2024 - 06:00 a.m. (ET) - Segment #11

in person. We brought 50 of our junior chefs -- >> Meredith: yes, that's you! >> -- we were leading them with our team of professional chefs on site at daily bread. We prepared over 1100 meals to be donated on site and raised money too. >> Meredith: cecileiacecilia, why is this important to you? >> Because I love cooking and I always like cooking different foods in my kitchen at home. >> Meredith: yeah, you're doing it at home and also thinking of some of the other kids that might not have access to the food too, right? >> Yeah. >> Meredith: that's tough stuff, hey? >> Yeah. >> Meredith: but you're doing something about it and making the future a better place. We thank you for that. You have fantastic food bounty before us including a moroccan chicken dish. As we get into some of this, let's talk about how to make sure that we're making use of every bit of the food. Because that's important too when you're talking about food insecurity, right? >> Absolutely. >> Meredith: how you prepare the food so you're not wasteful. >> Yeah, part of what we do at the chef upstairs, we're teaching kids, teens, adults proper cooking skills and with proper cooking skills we can mitigate food wastes. Food prices have gone through the roof and every little bit that you're saving in that cooking process is money going back into your pocket. It's also showing respect to the ingredients and not just throwing out -- I always hate seeing the chicken with all the meat on the bones going into the trash bin when we could be using that to make soups and stocks, vegetable scraps for the same purposes, right? >> Meredith: it's true. Sometimes we don't think of that. My fiancee is a chef, sometimes when he sees me chop off the top of schwabs he's like -- strawberries, he's like meredith! Time not our friend here, should I turn to chef cecilia, what are we doing today, chef? It a pepper we're going to chop up? >> I'll start with the pepper over here. My sous chef, you can grab whatever ingredients you want with and show them your stuff. The pepper, bell peppers are one of the most widely used ingredients and even chefs I see out there, they're leaving a lot of waste on. >> Meredith: yeah. >> Leaving the top. >> Meredith: sure, yeah. >> Leaving the bottom. I wanted to show you and the viewers -- >> Meredith: let's show them. We have about a minute eleft. Let's make this happen. . >> Tip and tail. You want to grab a pepper and join me on this? I know I gave you the smaller knife >> Meredith: everyone is okay with that, cecilia has a knife? Mom's okay with that? >> Top and bottom. >> Meredith: 30 seconds left. How can we do it, chef? Tip and tail? >> Get rid of the sore. That's itit. Now that's what we want to get rid of. The inside there. Finger on the back of the blade. Go into the pepper, skrish the peeper, sliez to the side. Disconnecting the interior -- >> Meredith: how are you doing cecilili she cut off the top! Oh, mama! Great job, girl >> That's your waste. I worked in an italian restaurant for 20 years, sometimes we eat this. >> Meredith: how can we get involved. >> Thechefupstairs.com. The donation link for the event is on our landing page.

Especially in broadcasting but I can't remember the last time a canadian team has been within seven wins of winning the stanley cup. >> Meredith: yeah. >> Sid: which is what the oilers are at least sitting on. I'd be spliezed if they didn't get one more win in this series.

Just moments ago, lawyers representing the universities of toronto have filed an injunction to clear the campus of pro-palestinian protesters. They're now being forced to

clear this downtown toronto campus. But those on site, they say they are not eager to leave. This is a live look at the campus grounds this morning. This is at king's college circle, where tents and demonstrators have been for weeks. Right now there's a rally that is being hehe. People are speaking at the podium as well, supporting this pro-palestinian encampment that has been there for almost a month. Now, representatives say that they've no intention of leaving the grounds until their demand to divest from israel's israeli connections is met by the school. The rally this morning is being supported by the labour union and workers from the u of t as they join this protest. Once again, lawyers for the school, they have filed an injunction in court in order to clear the campus. >>> Also happening right now in toronto, a solidarity gathering at an all girls jewish school after it was the target of a shooting this weekend. Police found multiple bullet holes in a window of the school on saturday morning. They are still searching for suspects. Prime minister justin trudeau, toronto's mayor and ontario's premier have all condemned the act calling it antisemitism. The rise in argumented incidents against jewish people have prompted multiple police services to expand their presence at jewish schools and synagogue synagogues. We are also live this morning at the school that was targeted where you can see supporters of the public and political figures standing with the community ahead of the return to school this week. This is just getting underway. >>> About 4700 evacuated residents will be able to return to their homes in fort nelson bc later today. Those residents have been displaced since may 10th when a wildfire blew to within a few kilometres of the town. Currently two fires continue to burn out of control in that area. Fort nelson's mayor says four homes were recently destroyed by wildfire but is relieved that nearly 5,000 residents can head back home.
