Kale in the Kitchen
Nutrition, From Our KitchenSAGE's chefs make our food memorable. Many are graduates of culinary schools, classically trained in Europe, or have lived and breathed food their entire lives. Our kitchens are filled with people that are passionate about what they do. Sisters of Christian Charity Food Service Director Michael Tornetta is one of those people.
