The On the Road Healthy Living Mobile Cooking School uses an experiential teaching model where participants not only hear information. They also see, touch, and taste what good nutrition choices can be. This approach is more than a lecture – students participate in practical aspects of how to choose, prepare, serve, and eat healthy foods.
The program uses United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) dietary guideline-based menus and whole-food choices as often as possible.
Participants will learn how to:
- read and modify recipes
- use simple kitchen tools and appliances
- understand nutrition and food safety concepts while preparing food
The core of the mobile cooking school is a series of three sessions that discuss nutrition, food safety, and food purchase decision making. Easy class includes preparing and eating fresh, whole foods and engaging in constructive discussions.
Learning objectives include:
- Increase ability to make healthy food decisions
- Gain confidence in skills necessary to prepare healthy meals
- Increase weekly intake of vegetables and fruits
- Improve understanding of concepts outlined in the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans
- Learn food preparation skills that promote good health
