PDX Food Revolution- Cooking Class for Kids May 15, 2010

Join the Food Revolution, In Good Taste Style! Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver has started a Food Revolution to change the way Americans eat. Obesity has become a national problem, shortening lives, increasing heart disease and diabetes. The consumption of cheap, processed food can be directly linked to this preventable epidemic and we at In Good Taste agree with Jamie Oliver that the solution is simply teaching people how (and what) to cook.

Cooking skills give people a basic knowledge of food and help them make informed decisions about what to eat. Without these skills, people have no choice but to eat fast food and processed meals.
We are picking the ball up here in the Portland area. It is our goal to give every child a basic knowledge of where food comes from and how to cook. Culinary instructor Barb Randall has made it her mission since 2000 to teach children how to cook, and instill in them a craving for real foods. Join her in our local Food Revolution classes.
These classes are hands on adventures with real food. The ‘from-scratch’ meal is shared among classmates at the end of the session. Techniques include food and kitchen safety, knife skills and specific skills as required by the recipes.
