Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3
GENERAL PROGRAM: HANDS-ON COOKING LESSONS. STUDENTS LEARN TO CHOP, MINCE, MEASURE, STIR, SAUTÉ, AND SIMMER TOGETHER TO PRODUCE A MEAL THAT IS SHARED AT THE END OF THE CLASS. WE START WITH A NUTRITION LESSON FOLLOWED UP BY A STUDENT-LED, INSTRUCTOR-SUPPORTED COOKING EXPERIENCE. OUR KID-APPROVED RECIPES ARE DEVELOPED BY OUR RECIPE TEAM AND TEST KITCHEN. WE WANT STUDENTS TO EAT THE RAINBOW AND BE INTRODUCED TO A RANGE OF NEW FOODS AND TASTES THEY MAY NEVER HAVE TRIED BEFORE. OUR AIM IS FOR THEM TO DEEPEN THEIR APPRECIATION OF FOOD AND LEARN TO THINK OF CREATIVE WAYS TO COMBINE DIFFERENT INGREDIENTS AND FLAVORS. BY LEARNING TO COOK FROM SCRATCH WITH FRESH INGREDIENTS, STUDENTS BECOME HEALTHY EATING ADVOCATES AND ARE EMPOWERED TO CONTROL THEIR LONG-TERM HEALTH.
