Plant - Forward Kitchen

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:

All the managers and staff from the University Culinary Services attend the Plant - Forward program offered by The Culinary Institute of America to include a variety of plant-based diets in the kitchens. This program will engage participants through lectures and hands-on production surrounding the principles of plant-forward and global cuisine. The participants will be exposed to plant-based ingredients and their cooking techniques while having fun creating delicious food. Delivering delicious plant-forward cuisine that pleases student’s palates not only makes sense from a wellness standpoint, it also makes good business sense.
