Cooking with Chef Randy
Move over Iron Chef; Chef Randy has arrived! Randy Levan, Central Food Service Manager at LVCC, is taking his traveling cooking program on the road. Pre-K Counts children from LVCC at South Mountain and LVCC's Campus Center were the first to experience the fun in preparing simple, nutritious snacks.
Each child began by decorating a paper cook's hat. Throughout the cooking class, the chefs-in-training learned the importance of nutrition by eating fresh fruits and whole grains. When asked why we eat fruit, some of the children answered, "Because it's healthy and makes us stronger."
Upcoming classes for Pre-K Counts students will be held at 9:00 a.m.:
- January 8 - LVCC's Judith Chase Early Learning Center
- January 16 - LVCC's Fowler Center on Main Street
- January 22 - LVCC on Union Boulevard
- January 29 - LVCC on Walnut Street
