The What & Why of Teaching Kitchens | March 30, 2022

During this webinar, led by the Founding Executive Director of the Teaching Kitchen Collaborative (TKC) we will introduce a simple yet powerful approach to addressing the alarmingly high rates of obesity, diabetes, and lifestyle-related chronic disease: The teaching kitchen. We will hear from two TKC member organizations about their innovative teaching kitchen programs and lessons they've learned in setting up and implementing these programs.

This webinar will explore:

• What a teaching kitchen is and why they matter
• What to consider before setting up a teaching kitchen
• Lessons learned from organizations using teaching kitchens as catalysts of enhanced personal and public health
