A school garden can also be integrated into many subjects such as HEALTHY COOKING CLUB Overview. Cooking with kids is a great way to educate them about good nutrition, what’s in season, planning and preparing meals, and reading food labels. It can encourage them to eat healthy foods, especially ones they may normally refuse to try. Expand their horizons by getting students in the kitchen through a healthy cooking club!
