The Culinary Nutrition Collaborative’s “A Taste of Culinary Nutrition from Around the Globe” returns this February 2022! We will be covering 6 new food cultures, including: Mexican, Guatemalan, Russian/Ukrainian, Ethiopian, Korean, and Haitian. We welcome RDNs, health professionals, chefs and nutrition students to participate in a series of virtual workshops covering a selection of food cultures from around the world through the lens of culinary nutrition. Join us as we continue to diversify our plates and our palates and most importantly, enhance our knowledge as practitioners of a diverse population.
Each session will be led by a different chef/RDN who will present important aspects of their food heritage in a cook-along style demonstration for participants (cooking along is optional). Presenters will cover key ingredients and food traditions, as well as concrete recommendations for healthy recipe modifications without compromising the cultural significance of the dish.
A ticket to this series includes registration to 6 interactive culinary workshops held weekly on Zoom on Thursdays at 6-8pm ET from February 3rd until March 10th, 2022.
The entire series will be recorded for those who can’t tune in live and the series is approved for 12 CEUs!
