Nutrition Chefs Provide Cooking Demonstrations
During a nutrition cooking demonstration, our Nutrition-Chefs harvest vegetables from the school gardens and make healthy recipes for the students to try themselves. The cooking nutrition lessons teach students how to cook nutritious meals using produce grown in their school gardens or hydroponics systems and educate students on the health benefits of eating fruits and vegetables as part of a well-balanced diet. They also inspire students to consider career paths in the nutrition and culinary fields.
