Nutritional Series – About:

Join us in this six-week program as we take a look at the nutritional side of the kitchen and dining table. Hosted by Chef Andrew Schmidt, the Nutritional Series will educate students on health trends, nourishing concepts, proper techniques, and more! This series is open to all skill-levels, targeting those who have little to no nutritional experience or those who wish to improve their current skillset.

Students will first head into the kitchen and listen to an initial lecture from Chef Drew over each daily menu. Then they work together under the supervision of the chef instructors. Once everything is finished, the students enjoy their freshly-made meals and sit down in the dining room where they listen to Karla Schmidt’s presentation over the science behind the weekly food and topics.

Nutritional Series – Cost:

The Nutritional Series is $600.00 for all six weeks of classes. Students may not sign up for individual classes. No chef jacket fee is added for this program.
