New York Coalition for Healthy School Lunches
- Food is Elementary Recipes -
Recipes that meet the recommendations of New York State Resolutions K1888 & J3971, which passed unanimously in the spring of 2004.
Feel free to copy/distribute as long as credit is given to Antonia Demas, Ph.D., for recipes from her Food is Elementary© Curriculum. These recipes use USDA commodity ingredients and are very low cost. Not all USDA commodity ingredients are currently available in New York State but could be if there is enough interest shown in the product.
Food service directors – please request the healthier commodity foods on your Office of General Services Survey in the beginning of the year. Charts at the end of this packet show cost estimates for the recipes.
These recipes have been used successfully in hundreds of schools across the country in conjunction with the Food is Elementary curriculum, which uses a multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural approach to teaching children about food. Children who receive the lessons order these foods in the cafeteria up to 20 times more often than children who do not receive the lessons. Learn more about Food is Elementary at www.foodstudies.org.
