As we’ve lost our connection with food, we’ve lost the knowledge of how to cook, and how to eat healthily.  Growing Minds’  cooking demonstrations and classes teach kids important skills they no longer learn at home—how to prepare and enjoy fresh foods.  

Our hands on programs make an impact. The proof? We’ve seen first graders eagerly eating carrot and kohlrabi stew because they made it themselves.

If you’d like to offer Nutrition Education in your school, please use our resources below and contact us about cooking demos. We have cooking kits you can use and can help you connect with chefs who will come to your classroom.
