Fireside at Five & Ms. Betty’s Cooking Present:
Mile High Holiday Haircuts!
There’s no better feeling than being taken care of during the holiday season. That’s why we teamed up with Chef Tajahi Cooke for the 2nd Annual Mile High Holiday Haircuts! We raised $3,000 to provide complimentary haircuts and 1,500 meals for community members at Mean Street Ministry, Crossroads Shelter, Lambuth Family Center and Warren Village. Thank you to everyone who got involved with our community project. You all helped make a huge difference and we are so grateful for your support!

Discover Ms. Betty’s Cooking!
Chef Tajahi Cooke and his wife Danielle started Ms. Betty’s Cooking in 2016 when he was the touring chef for reggae rock band, Rebelution. From the beginning Ms. Betty’s Cooking was always about family. The name for the company came from Taj’s grandmother, Ms. Betty, who raised him and was the foundation of the family. Much of the inspiration behind Ms. Betty’s Cooking comes from his grandmother’s recipes and Taj’s Jamaican roots. The lifelong Chef is proud to bring his family’s culture and century-old recipes to Colorado to share with the community. Chef Taj worked for The Kitchen, Next Door American Eatery, Bacon Social House, and Block & Larder before becoming the Executive Chef for Mother Tongue and Biju’s Little Curry Shop. In 2020, Chef Taj became the Head Chef Consultant for Bruto and launched the Advocacy Kitchen, bringing awareness to local chefs, farms, and producers.
As a driven community leader, Taj is passionate about collaborative projects and makes it a priority to include philanthropy in his work. To continue supporting the community, Chef Taj has pledged 30% of his curry powder sales to community projects, such as Ms. Betty’s Harvest Madsgiving and Mile High Holiday Haircuts.
