About | The Whole Plate
The Story of The Whole Plate: A Return to Real Food begins in Viroqua, WI at the Youth Initiative High School , which was founded in 1996 by a group of students, faculty and parents strongly connected to organic agriculture. The founders had a vision of a rural school within which academic, practical and artistic activities would be integrated. The Whole Foods and Nutrition class, under the vision of teacher Jane Siemon , grew from the desire to teach food preparation, nutrition, and sustainable agriculture as one subject.
Update on Project Aspire's Culinary Education Classes | Blog | Palette Fund
Classroom lessons will include a discussion about culinary literacy: what is food, how it is grown, where is it grown, what is good for (what effect it has on our body) and most importantly how to turn it into delicious healthy dishes. The emphasis will be in introducing kids to a variety of seasonal fruits, vegetables and grains. The lesson will include demonstration and hands-on food preparation, which the kids will be encouraged to sample.
