Our Teaching Methodology
As Registered Dietitians, we are committed to teaching culinary skills using evidence-based nutrition information and real-world advice. We are skilled in creating recipes, curriculums, and trainings for school foodservice programs that focus on kid-friendly foods. We strive to encourage kids and adolescents to explore new foods by introducing their palettes to new flavors and cuisines. We emphasize using whole, natural foods while still staying within USDA regulations. All recipes that we create provide meal pattern crediting information for all meal pattern components. Our recipes use standardized measurements and are realistically scalable for large quantity production.
