Health Promotions and Wellness offers a hands-on cooking experience taught
by registered dietitians.
Located in the Student Recreation and Activity Center on the Kennesaw
campus, Health Promotion and Wellness inspires healthy lifestyles with its
innovative cooking demonstrations.
The creative culinary minds behind their savvy recipes are registered
dietitians Barbara Oldham and Bethany Wheeler, who promote healthy, affordable
lifestyles with a variety of nutritious meals and flavors to boost culinary
confidence in the kitchen.
The cooking demonstrations influence students to eat well-balanced meals by
providing them with a variety of inexpensive flavors and nutritional food
combinations. The aroma of fresh vegetables and proteins are explored as
students prepare the authentic recipes devised by Oldham and Wheeler.
“There are 12 students per demonstration so that everyone can have a
hands-on experience,” Oldham said. “The main goal is to provide students with
the cooking skills to make more nutritious meals at home.”
The cooking demos will continue throughout the semester with “Keep Calm
& Curry On,” “Fall Fare,” “Ridin‘ Solo: Meals For One” and “Flavors of the
World.”
