Xtreme Cuisine Cooking School

The "Xtreme Cuisine” Cooking School provides culinary and nutrition education to students from early elementary to middle school.

Through this curriculum, students learn to prepare whole-wheat pizzas, fruit parfaits and other nutritious and tasty treats. They also learn how Florida fruit and vegetables used in these recipes provide vitamins and minerals that can help prevent heart disease and other obesity-related illnesses.

In addition, students learn the dangers caused by excessive amounts of salt, sugar and fats in their diet, and how fiber could eliminate their desire for high-calorie, low-nutrition snack foods.

At the end of each session, students learn how many calories are needed for their age and gender, the vitamin and mineral content of many Florida fruits and vegetables, and how to read a food nutrition label.
