Cooks For Kids: Succulent Side Dishes
Satellite Seminar
Presented: February 14, 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.

If you are looking for appealing, flavorful, healthful ways to serve more vegetables to your students, then join us for Succulent Side Dishes. Chef Dayid Uygur of the Tasting Room at Lola's in Dallas demonstrates how to take advantage of seasonal produce in the preparation of interesting side dishes. TJ Lee Elementary School in Irving, Texas earns high marks for their school-made charro beans. See how Foodservice Director Michael Rosenberger has taken a pioneering approach to increasing whole grains, vegetables, and fruits served to school children. Getting children involved in food preparation helps them become more adventuresome in eating vegetables. Come with us as we visit a kids' cooking class and learn how you can conduct a class of your own.

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