Let´s cook Healthy School Meals

At Project Bread, we believe every child deserves access to healthy, delicious school meals. The food served in our cafeterias profoundly impacts students' ability to learn, grow, and succeed. With better nutrition, children can focus more, think clearer, and improve their overall health and resilience.

"Let's Cook Healthy School Meals" is our practical guide designed to help school food service professionals make the most of their resources while providing nutritious meals that kids will love. This cookbook aligns with the latest dietary guidelines, incorporating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and less salt and dairy fat.

Our journey began with the "Chefs in Schools" project, where professional chefs collaborated with school kitchen teams to create tasty, budget-friendly, and healthy meals. Through this initiative, we developed recipes that meet federal standards and delight students.

The recipes in this cookbook are a result of hands-on experience, creativity, and dedication. They offer the nutrition children need to thrive and succeed. We hope this collaborative effort inspires you to bring fresh, healthy food to your school cafeteria.

Join us in making a difference—let's cook healthy school meals together!
