USE LESS SALT AND MORE HERBS AND SPICES
Cooking with herbs and spices learning station
|
Use Less Salt and More Herbs and Spices is a Learning Station that can be used as part of a workshop or at an event. It can easily be expanded into a Lesson in a Box by a Community Educator who is comfortable teaching about cooking with different foods. You can use this Learning Station to complement lessons about eating more fruits and vegetables; or about balancing calories because fresh herbs and spices help make vegetables more interesting to eat. Be sure to get a least one fresh herb for your display. Cilantro is a good choice because it is used in many cultural dishes and is generally easy to find at neighborhood stores. Hot and mild peppers are also a wonderful addition. They are colorful and often used like an herb to accent flavor in cooking. Signs and Directions are below. Only copy what you need. Laminate your signs. |
