FoodLab

FoodLab is an experiential nutrition education program conceived in 2023 by Nancy Wolfson-Moche. It combines food science, tasting, and cooking, with the goal of increasing food literacy. Students of all ages conduct lab experiments investigating concepts in botany, chemistry, mathematics, nutrition, and physics, and then cook a dish that illustrates the lab. FoodLab is designed to help students become intentional eaters, creative cooks, and thoughtful food citizens.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

The food was creative, delicious and healthy. We learned the correct and efficient ways to cook and prepare a variety of foods. In addition, she taught us how to maximize the nutritional value of each vegetable. Another bonus to this class is how beautifully she interjected the spiritual aspects of each ingredient. She surprised us with personal touches to make my birthday more festive.
