Let’s Cook Healthy School Meals (Cookbook by Project Bread)

Excerpt from the cookbook:

Seven years ago, we introduced a demonstration project called Chefs in Schools into three Boston public schools. We set three simple goals: to cook with the kitchen staff to produce healthy meals together; to stay on budget in preparing those meals; and most importantly, to serve meals that the kids would want to eat. Our professionally trained chefs have worked side-by-side with school kitchen teams to come up with fresh ways to put fresh food on plates. In the process, we’ve learned a lot about the challenges of cooking from scratch with limited equipment, funding, and time—the hurdles you jump every day. But we’ve also managed to develop menus that kids love…and that schools can actually afford to serve. The recipes in this cookbook come from those hours by the stove, the oven, and at the cafeteria tables. They reflect the creativity and ingenuity of great cooks—who just happen to work in school kitchens.
