Chef to School workshop
by Georgia Organics and Mendez Foundation February 2009
When students have opportunities to grow food and taste fresh fruits and vegetables, they are more likely to adopt life-long healthy diets. Chefs can play a major role in this process by providing hands-on taste testing and cooking demonstrations for students featuring local foods. This training toolkit will provide chefs with a better understanding how to deliver information to children and best practices in working in non-traditional cooking environments such as classrooms, gardens and auditoriums.
