It All Begins with a Ladle of Love for Leslie Lampert

After 27 years in journalism, Leslie catapulted into an "accidental career." Wanting to help after 9/11, she delivered daily bowls of homemade soup to 9/11 firefighters. The soup was a hit. In 2003, Café of Love opened in Mt. Kisco.

From there she built the Ladle of Love brand.

Leslie describes her offerings as contemplative food, food that has consciously been thought about in terms of who grows it, how it is grown, and how it is prepared.

A professional commissary kitchen is located in the Mt. Kisco Boys and Girls Club of Northern Westchester. There budding chefs are trained, and food is prepared for catering and on-line orders. The chefs also prepare 1,500 free healthy meals a week for the Boys and Girls Club, and a line of vegan food for Fresh Direct. Leslie was honored to receive the Boys and Girls Club 2016 Humanitarian Award.

Leslie believes, "It matters who you are and how you are." Wanting more time for community-centered impact work and a bit of leisure, she closed Café of Love and had a hip replacement.
