Cook bistro is welcoming Channel 7 reporter/fill-in anchor Amaka Ubaka as part of its continuing “Cook for Charity” celebrity chef series. On Friday, August 18 from 6-8 p.m., 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.
