From Test Kitchen to Your Plate
Our FRESH to Table programālaunched in 2017āhosts educational cooking demonstrations with producers and chefs that introduce new menu items and promote healthy, regional, socially just, and sustainable food choices.
We regularly stage themed culinary showcases that feature dishes from different countries and cultures. To offer students an opportunity for indulgence, we host experiential pop-up events throughout the year. The Ļć½¶Šć Test Kitchen accepts recipe suggestions, experiments with new dishes, and incorporates diner feedback.
