Science Inspired, Healthy, Balanced Meals for All

Help Us Nourish Minds and Bodies with SciCook! Together, we can build a healthier, more connected community through food. At SciCook, our mission is simple yet powerful: provide nutritious, affordable meals to everyone using a unique sliding scale payment model. In addition, we aim to engage the community through education on nutrition and its impact on health and hands on experience in cooking. SciCook is a newly formed 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in San Diego, CA (EIN #99-39384746).

I (Taher Sathaliya) am a trained immunologist scientist with experience in cancer and immune diseases drug development with passion for nutritious, healthy meals, and I’m excited to share that passion with the community. I hope to develop a program which will also help the community to fight chronic diseases with healthy, nutritious meals.

Why Donate to SciCook?

We believe that the delivery of food charity is often lacking in dignity and nutritious value, and we want to change that. By creating an equitable eatery, we empower people to make a direct impact while also receiving dignified assistance. In addition to providing the same meals to all, we aim to engage the community through education on nutrition and its impact on health. You are directly investing in making your community healthier!!

Be Part of the Change

Your generosity is the key to making SciCook a sustainable success. We need your help to get SciCook off the ground as we work towards making it self-sufficient in the long run. Your donation is tax deductable.

We have initiated our first program – “SciEats” – an eatery located in the heart of college area close to SDSU. The demographic of this area is in need and can benefit from this effort. We have invested in leasing a casual eatery and working towards opening on May 31st. We are raising our first round of donations to help offering discounted/free meals. Your donations will go directly providing daily 200 discounted or free healthy meals for the first 100 days so we can measure our sucess and inform you.
