Spring Garden Taste Testing

Mud City Chefs Eric and Melanie Magaziner have been partnered with the EJ Schoolyard Garden!  The Chefs Move to Schools program was founded in May 2010 and partners schools with chefs to receive menu ideas culinary training, and help to teach students about importance of healthy meals.  Partnering with chefs also helps schools build excitement about their school meals especially when the students have grown the veggies themselves as part of a seed-to-table schoolyard garden.

This year's Spring Harvest included a Collard Green Ziti and a Mixed Greens and Radish Salad topped with Raspberry dressing!  Chef Magaziner helped the students to understand eating healthy foods can be fun and delicious.

Chefs Move to School website contains many great resources and tools for chefs and schools to use in improving the way children interact with food, from the garden to the cafeteria and into the classroom.
