Culinary Training with Food Hero Recipes

Students from Armand Larive Middle School attended a Culinary Workshop in Umatilla, hosted by Oregon Department of Education and the Oregon Dairy and Nutrition Council, where they saw their school nutrition professionals in action. The Culinary Workshop is one of six regional workshops offered to school nutrition professionals throughout Oregon to help improve child nutrition programs, and many of the recipes tested were from Food Hero. Students interviewed, taste-tested and even gave their feedback on the finished recipes to re-cap the day. As one of the many examples showing how the experience is paying off, Armand Larive Middle School’s Ashley Treadwell received Honorable Mention in the National Scholastic Press Association Individual Award Contest for her video story titled “Cooking Class”, which she edited using video footage from the day.
