Cooks For Kids: Perfect Pasta
Satellite Seminar
Presented: October 11, 2007

Cooks for Kids is a new series of 30 minute satellite training programs from the National Food Service Management Institute that celebrates the fact that healthful food for children can, and should, be served everywhere.  We take you to kitchens in restaurants, schools, and at home to show you the tested techniques of preparing and serving healthful, appealing foods to children.

October’s episode, Perfect Pasta, demonstrates a variety of techniques used in restaurants, at school, and at home to serve pasta side dishes and main dishes that feature whole grain pastas and vegetables. Award-winning Chef Barbara Lynch of Boston’s famed Plum Produce and the Butcher’s Shop prepares pasta with broccoli sauce. We travel up the Massachusetts coast to visit Nutrition Director Bill Idell and the foodservice staff at Marblehead Community Charter Public School to see healthful pasta dishes served as wholesome sides on the salad bar and as appealing main dishes. Whole grain pasta is a family favorite as we join the Lyons family as they shop, cook and dine together.

Join us for this exciting series that focuses on preparing and serving delicious, healthful foods for children.
