Baton Rouge, LA- The SU Ag Center, in collaboration with the
LSU AgCenter, will sponsor a youth cooking school entitled, “Creating Healthy
Enjoyable Foods” (C.H.E.F.), for youth ages 9-11 on July 13-17 and ages 12-14
on July 27-31.
The C.H.E.F. cooking school is designed to teach youth basic
cooking principles and nutrition education based on the USDA’s, “MyPlate” food
guidance system and the 2010 Dietary Guidelines.
Each day, participants will work together to create an
entire meal while learning healthy eating and physical activity principles,
food preparation, kitchen and food safety, common cooking terms, proper food
handling, measuring techniques, critical thinking and team building skills,
planning and time management.
“These camps are designed to teach children the basic
principles of healthy eating,” said De’Shoin York Friendship, Associate Specialist
for Nutrition at the SU Ag Center. “In many households the parents work and
very often when kids get home from school they are home alone. Instead of choosing fast foods or frozen
prepared foods, which may be high in fat or sodium, our cooking camps teach
youth how to safely prepare nutritious snacks and meals, many of which do not
involve the use of a stove,” she added.
Both sessions will be held on the Southern University Baton
Rouge campus in Pinkie E. Thrift Hall from 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. To ensure the
safety of all participants, only 12 youth will be accepted per session.
Participants are required to bring a bag lunch and snack each day.
To register for the camps, parents must submit a completed
register form with the $30 registration fee. This fee, which must be paid in the
form of a money order, includes all materials, food and attire needed for the
camp. Money orders should be made payable to the Southern University Ag Center
and mailed to: C.H.E.F., Nutrition Education Program, Southern University Ag
Center, P. O. Box 10010, Baton Rouge, LA 70813.
