Fall semester program to teach NC State students healthy cooking techniques
July 8, 2011 (Raleigh, NC) — NC State Dining and North Carolina Cooperative Extension will offer Cook Smart, Eat Smart to NC State students this fall. The partnership will provide students with an opportunity to learn healthy cooking techniques.
This fall will be the first time the program is offered at NC State University. Cook Smart, Eat Smart is an eight-week program with classes held every Tuesday night from September 13 to November 1. Participants will learn simple cooking techniques, healthy habits and food safety.
To register, students can visit http://ncsudiningcook.wordpress.com/ and fill out the online form. Registration does not guarantee acceptance into the class. On August 31, students will be randomly selected from the forms received to fill a limited number of spots. Once enrolled, participants must pay a $5 fee to cover the cost of cooking materials.
Cook Smart, Eat Smart was developed by Eat Smart, Move More North Carolina to promote opportunities for healthy eating and physical activities. The state-wide program is funded by the Dinah Gore Endowment.
The eight-week program will be instructed by two graduate students, Kristen Baughman and Sarah Beitzel, who are enrolled in the Cooperative Extension graduate program at NC State. Dr. Carolyn Dunn of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension will ensure that the program standards are met.
