Taste & Health

Audiences watch and participate in a food demonstration, learn healthy cooking tips and taste freshly prepared foods. Participants receive written materials highlighting a nutrition message as well as recipes that feature easy to prepare, inexpensive and appetizing dishes. All Taste & Health recipes include ideas on how children can help with food preparation.

Mission: Delicious

  

is an elementary school-based program developed in collaboration with Seattle Public Schools, Neighborhood House and the Share Our Strength program.

The Mission: Delicious curriculum includes classroom-based and take-home elements to reinforce nutrition messages.

You're the Cook!
