" I heard my daughter speak with excitement about this project. But it was only when I participated in one class that the value became apparent: actively engaging kids in their food selection and preparation let alone increasing their knowledge of the nutritional value of food is the most effective way to get them to make intelligent food choices for life."

“I would sign up for this program every year if I could. This was the best in-class, hands-on, learning experence I have had for my students (and the most meaningful for life long learning) in 10 years of teaching, and I've had my share of this sort of opportunity."

Welcome to Our Kitchen! 

The best way to understand Project CHEF is to see photos or film of the program in action in our classroom ‘kitchens’. You won’t be able to smell the food cooking, taste the menu creations or feel the excitement in the air but you will get a visual sense of how we go about ‘Cooking Healthy Edible Food’.
