The goal of the Demonstration Kitchen is to provide individuals with the opportunity to engage in hands-on education in the state-of-the art demonstration kitchen.
The overall objective is to teach culinary skills so they can make practical dietary changes to improve their health and transfer these newly acquired skills to their home kitchen.
We focus on helping participants define their unique definition of “healthy eating” and develop their cooking skills. The Demonstration Kitchen will also teach healthful cooking techniques to medical students, residents, doctors and members of the community and provide programming about the significant role food plays in preventing and managing obesity and associated diseases. Nutrition research will also take place in this unique space.
