Provide healthy cooking demonstrations with taste tests.

« Go Back Provide healthy cooking demonstrations with taste tests.

Why:

Cooking demonstrations at the worksite make a great lunchtime seminar or health fair attraction. Demonstrations can be tailored to fit a variety of settings and time limitations. Seeing and tasting foods prepared quickly and easily can provide people the incentive they need to get creative in the kitchen.

How:

Host a one-hour cooking demonstration over the lunch hour or as part of a health fair.

Create a theme for your demonstration such as “meals in minutes”, “bone up for good health”, “take nutrition to heart” or “healthy holidays”.

Invite a chef to participate in cooking demonstrations or health fairs.

Consider cold recipes if adequate equipment is not accessible.

Start a video lending library of cooking videos.

Offer a cooking class that includes a demonstration, hands-on participation, and sampling.
