Jr. Chef Central Healthy Cooking Assemblies
In 2009 Jr. Chef Central began a partnership with the Elk Grove Unified School District to provide Healthy Cooking Assemblies in 15 of its elementary schools.
In 2014, we are still providing assemblies to sixth grades in 17 schools. We visit each school 3 times throughout the school year with a new recipe each visit. It's a hands-on class focusing on knife skills, recipe reading, measuring, nutrition and sanitation. The assemblies have been a hit since 2009! The best part is... they get to eat what they make. Recipes include:
Apple Chicken Pita - Recipe PDF
Ginger Vegetable Stir Fry - Recipe PDF
Black Bean and Corn Pita - Recipe PDF
Asian Chicken Salad - Recipe PDF
Mediterranean Wrap - Recipe PDF
Hummus Dip with Vegetables - Recipe PDF
Starting in late 2013, Jr. Chef Central began an After School Program in the Elk Grove Unified School District. In the first months of the program, we will visit two Elementary and one Middle school. Three visits each to the Elementary and 4 visits to the Middle school. Recipes for our After School Program include:
Southwestern Ranch Salad
Fruit Spring Rolls
