DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr Ah totally agree @MaureenS! Hey college friends - do you guys have cooking classes right now? Would you take one if it were available? @darkchocolatepeanutbutter @lauren @RozalieCzesana @carpe_deli

NehaNBB 8yr Which college?

JamieOliversFoodRevolution 8yr @NehaNBB the program we're piloting, and hope to replicate throughout the U.S, is at Stanford University

NehaNBB 8yr Thank you for the quick response. I have a cousin there, so I'll be sure to let her know when it launches. I'm sure colleges around the country will also want a similar program, so kudos for making this happen.

JamieOliversFoodRevolution 8yr @NehaNBB the program is already well underway, and we are currently accepting applications for the fall quarter. We would love to include your cousin! https://rde.stanford.edu/dining/teaching-kitchen

mirasingh 8yr Take this class to med schools. I heard there is a cooking program down at Tulane medical school. http://tmedweb.tulane.edu/mu/teachingkitchen/

JamieOliversFoodRevolution 8yr Thanks @mirasingh - we are really excited about Tulane's program as well!

IEatWell 8yr They need to bring Home Economics back to schools. I don't even know if they teach it anymore. :(

sugardetoxme 8yr I've worked on a nationwide curriculum for sustainability across fashion, textiles and clothing (3 year project!) for universities; it was a grant sponsored by the USDA. I wonder if there can be a similar one offered for healthy cooking and eating (and food sustainability) as well.

sugardetoxme 8yr @simplywithout works on "Home Ec" style cooking @Ieatwell. She can share more about that.

etsummer 8yr So exciting and so important! I can think of a few college friends who would have benefited greatly from this 😜

Brianne 8yr My officemates and I started going to cooking classes together because we never had home ec in school. It made me realize how much of a barrier just knowing how to chop was! Great idea @JamieOliverFoodRevolution!

darkchocolatepeanutbutter 8yr @Rachna I'm required to take a cooking class for nutrition but I took an extra class for food studies. I think our cooking class is a little outdated since it doesn't really consider vegetarians and vegans unfortunately. Jamie's program would be a lifesaver for college students!

annefood 8yr What an awesome #foodventure

simplywithout 8yr Thanks @sugardetoxme , yes @ieatwell - I teach Wellness in a NYC public school- lots of edible education and living the #FoodRevolution life every day @JamieOliversFoodRevolution 🌱✨

DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr @simplywithout - can't wait to see some of your lessons from your classes!

TanyaTurnsVeggie Is this a required class? Or an optional one?

FarmerDave I just picked some greens from my garden, and topping it with fresh lemon is all you need.
