Cooks For Kids: Pizzas with Pizzazz
Satellite Seminar
Presented: January 10, 2008

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.

Pizzas with Pizzazz takes an innovative look at one of today’s school kids’ favorite menu item. We will visit the famed Al Forno restaurant in Providence, Rhode Island, which is credited with inventing the grilled pizza, and see how Chef David Reynoso is adding a variety of seasonal vegetables to their fabulous pizzas. JoAnne Ricapito, Foodservice Director at Lakeland School District in Shrub Oak, New York reenergized their school nutrition program by creating an in-house pizzeria that serves school-made, whole wheat, vegetable pizzas to the applause of their students. A fresh look at a teen pizza party will inspire youths to try healthful alternatives at their next gathering.

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