Together, we can rewrite the recipe for school food.
As the national conversation around school food focuses on rolling back progress, Cooking up Change student chefs are still looking forward. Now in its 12th year, Cooking up Change challenges high school students to create meals that are delicious and adhere to high nutrition standards. And these student chefs always deliver.
Join us this year as we invite guests to watch the student presentations to get an inside look into their inspiration, process and challenges. Show your support for high nutrition standards by cheering on talented student chefs that are making it happen!
