Teaching Kitchen

Fun with Food!

Our popular in-person Teaching Kitchen is back at campuses across the country! For this program, our creative innovators find new ways to explore culinary literacy with students. Participants improve their cooking skills while making healthy food choices.

Pops of Joy Truffles

NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY The first Teaching Kitchen of the fall 2021 semester at NSU was a hit! This semester there are two new additions to the Shark Dining team. Welcome NSU dietetic interns who are in the master’s program, Cassie and Dani! They created an awesome plant-based avocado dark chocolate truffle recipe. Students enjoyed taste-testing their “Pops of Joy” truffles!

Teaching Kitchen empowers students to make better food choices

In a Pickle

UMBC This was kind of a “big dill!” UMBC’s Chef Ben and Dietitian Adam taught students knife skills and food preservation by pickling cucumbers and a quick kimchi. There are delicious and simple ways to give back to the environment by reducing your food waste footprint. Pickling is a fun way to preserve leftover produce, reduce food waste and add flavor to any cuisine. As participants learned in this Teaching Kitchen, it is an easy and versatile method to give new life to traditional fruits and veggies.

Teaching Kitchen

Began as a collaboration between The Culinary Institute of America and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Chartwells is a proud founding member of the Teaching Kitchen Collaborative.

Glorious Guacamole

FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY FAU held its first Teaching Kitchen on September 15, hosted by Chef Cristiane Brito. Chef Brito demonstrated how to make a delicious guacamole. More than 40 students participated and even learned how to tell when an avocado is just ripe enough for a delicious meal.

Teaching Kitchen provides culinary and nutrition literacy.

Teaching Kitchen = food wellness + a fun learning environment.

An Apple a Day

UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS
