Healthy Kids Cooking Class at Willamette
Hands-on Cooking with Vibrant Fruits and Vegetables
Wednesday, May 7th | 4:00pm – 6:00pm
Bon Appétit invites Willamette faculty and staff elementary school-aged children in grades K-5 to join us for a special culinary workshop featuring activities in healthy eating and cooking. During this fun and interactive program, we’ll demonstrate how whole fruits and vegetables can be transformed into a healthy meal. By learning about the connection between what they eat and their ability to do what they enjoy, children will go home with a newfound power to make better choices for their health.
This workshop is free but space is limited; https://willamette.cafebonappetit.com/event/kids-cooking-class-for-willamette-faculty-staff-kids/
If you have questions about the event, contact Bon Appetit’s Healthy Kids Program Manager nina.abramson@cafebonappetit.com.
