When kids help prepare healthy foods, they’re more likely to eat and enjoy them!
In School Classrooms
Cooking with Kids provides fun and positive experiences with healthy foods and give kids confidence in the kitchen.
Started in 1995, Cooking with Kids serves over 6,000 children in Northern New Mexico every year.
In School Cafeterias
Cooking with Kids helps school cafeterias use local food, cook from scratch, and successfully introduce new foods into the lunchroom.
Local chefs and farmers share their expertise to create cafeteria-culinary connections.
In the Community
Cooking with Kids builds classroom-to-kitchen bridges that support healthy eating efforts at home.
Cooking classes provide a non-intimidating environment where family volunteers feel they can contribute with their knowledge of food, cooking, and a desire to help their child.
Working in partnership with public schools for over 25 years, Cooking with Kids has nurtured generations of students through rich and unique nutrition education—and developed a rich library of resources.
The BIG little Project now serves as the platform for Cooking with Kids to share these resources nationwide.
We learn about our world when we cook.
We take care of ourselves when we cook.
