Innovative cooking demos inspire healthy eating habits

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.”
