Cooking with Kids : Best Practices Resource

Cooking with Kids

Introduction

Research shows that when students have the opportunity to taste healthy foods and learn about how food is grown, they make healthier food choices! In turn, those healthy foods improve academic outcomes in core subjects and increase the willingness of students to try new foods. Cooking helps students learn core content across all disciplines, gets them excited about eating good food, and celebrates a successful school garden harvest.

Best Practices

Keep it simple: Focus on raw or minimally cooked recipes with 2-4 ingredients

Involve students with cooking utensils appropriate for their age

Connect recipes with curriculum; cooking links easily to history, geography, math, physical science, and health

Collaborate with cafeteria staff and nutrition department; they often love to help with classroom cooking projects when resources and time allow

Supporting Resources

The Collective School Garden Network's - Cooking with Kids and Recipes page is a one-stop shop for cooking tips and techniques, recipes, videos, equipment and food safety.
