[text-box] [h1]Library Cooking Programs[/h1]

Library cooking programs are hot! Chefsville’s excitement about our library cooking programs is contagious. It doesn’t matter if a library has a commercial or a residential style kitchen. Chefsville can put on a library cooking program with simple facilities and minimal furnishing such as tables, trashcans and access to a sink.

Chefsville’s Library Cooking programs start out where participants are sent to the cookbook section of the library, the famous 640s section. Kids explore the variety of books available such as ingredient books, cultural cooking, recipe books and technique methods.

We have plenty of programming ideas for your kitchen space that center around what we call “food literacy”. We have programs such as Math Chefs, Science Chefs, Space Chefs, and a host of other language arts and social study programs to connect people with cooking.

Ideas List for Library Cooking Programs:

Is your library looking for a chef to teach about health and nutrition? Chefsville calls this program “Chefs move to libraries”. Each week there are new medical and nutrition surveys that contain important news that can benefit your patrons.
