How do the Presentations work in with Foods Classes?Teachers select both a lesson plan (from four lesson plan options listed on the classroom presentations page) and a recipe (see classroom presentations). Our presenter delivers the lesson in a 50-60 minute session, and the teacher demonstrates the chosen recipe. Students then cook the recipe the next day.
