HHC - Healthy Lunch Classes

New! Healthy Lunch Classes

A Cooking Class Empowering Students to Make Healthy Bento-Style Lunches

Overview:

Bento is a Japanese style of eating where lunch items are packed into a wooden or plastic box with individual compartments. Bento lunches consist of a balance of food groups, colors and textures. We’ve expanded on this concept by creating themed HHC Bento Lunch classes that combine U.S. and Canada nutrition standards, colorful fresh foods, and a special lunch box system. We’re empowering our students with healthy options and limitless nutrition choices using compartmentalized lunch boxes.

Objectives:

In these classes, students will learn how to create a colorful, fun, and nutritious Bento school lunch that can be replicated at home based on U.S. and Canadian nutrition standards.

Themes:

We offer 12 different lunch themed classes to keep your child excited about packing lunch for school. We suggest you register for several themed lunch classes to give your child the best variety and experience in the kitchen. Your Certified Instructor provides the selection of classes that they will offer.

Many of our healthy lunch classes can be created as a vegetarian options using substitutions. Contact your instructor for details.

Class Structure:

Then we chop, blend, slice and whip our way into making a colorful themed lunch followed by clean up and a sit down meal. HHC students will be empowered to replicate their lunch at home and definitely won't leave hungry!
