Cook, the highly acclaimed American bistro located in Newton, MA is welcoming Channel 7 reporter/fill-in anchor Amaka Ubaka as part of its continuing “Cook for Charity” celebrity chef series. On Friday August 18th, 2017 from 6:00PM to 8:00PM, Amaka will roll up her sleeves and get cooking with Executive Chef/Owner Paul Turano to serve specialty flatbreads to benefit Project HOPE Boston.
In addition to Cook’s signature menu items, Amaka and the Cook kitchen will be serving up “The Amaka” special, a house-made whipped ricotta and chicken sausage flatbread with local peach and arugula salad, $16. 100 percent of sales from each $16 “The Amaka” flatbread will be donated to Project HOPE Boston.
Project HOPE Boston is a multi-service agency at the forefront of efforts in Boston to move families up and out of poverty. It provides low-income women with children access to education, jobs, housing, and emergency services; fosters their personal transformation; and works for broader systems change.
Prior to working for Channel 7 News, the Tallahassee native worked for WKMG- news 6 in Orlando, FL after graduating from the University of Miami. Amaka has covered several stories that have caught national attention in addition to covering 2012 Olympic swim trials and the NCAA College Baseball World Series. She has worked for several local stations around the country including KRCR ABC 7 in Redding, California and WOWT NBC 6 in Omaha, Nebraska. She joined the Channel 7 News team in May of 2016.
This night of cooking is one of several celebrity chef events at Cook, all of which raise money and awareness about a charity chosen by the specific celebrity chef of the evening. The regular menu will also be available that night. For more information, visit www.cooknewton.com or call 617-964-2665. Reservations are recommended.
