Field Trip to Berkeley Bowl

Every Friday, the Kitchen of Champions students have a two-hour class put on by the wonderful non-profit organization Cooking Matters (www.cookingmatters.org). A volunteer chef, nutritionist, and class assistant come in every week to provide one hour of nutrition instruction and one hour of hands-on healthy cooking. Each session, Cooking Matters volunteers take our class on a field trip to the Berkeley Bowl grocery store. The students partake in a grocery scavenger hunt and are then given ten dollars each to buy one food from each food group that will collectively make a meal for four people. Every class enjoys this field trip, and this time was no exception!
