Upgraded Kitchen!
This year we’re excited to roll out several upgrades in our teaching kitchen to make your experience even better. Look forward to expanded prep stations, upgraded cookware and appliances for faster, more efficient cooking, and enhanced storage solutions to keep ingredients fresh. We’re also adding new demonstration areas with improved lighting and audiovisual equipment so you can follow along with every tip and technique—and share your own discoveries with the group. These enhancements will help us continue delivering hands-on, interactive nutrition education that feels accessible, engaging, and fun for everyone.
