SSI Grant Update February 9th, 2009
Current Progress
- We have secured the space in which we plan to hold the cooking classes. We will hold the classes at the SLI Kitchen in Snell Hall.
- We have confirmed our first chef for the first cooking class—James Cassidy, Organic Growers Club Faculty Advisor. He is planning on doing something college student friendly with an organic/local twist.
- First class is set for March 3rd, 2009 at 6:00pm
- We have decided to cap the enrollment of students at 20, they will RSVP to osufoodgroup@oregonstate.edu
- We have outlined potential themes for the classes including
Nutrition on a Budget: how college students can eat healthy at a low cost Sustainable Protein Sources: protein alternatives to meat Gourmet College: classic college dishes made into real meals (pizza etc.) with sustainable flare Soups and Chili: quick and tasty how-to's.
In Progress
- We have yet to purchase the food for the classes. We are currently discussing with the first chef regarding his menu and organic and local sources for the food.
- In the process of identifying dates for the two classes to be held next term. We will reserve dates for these classes as soon as we have determined them.
- We are looking for two more guest chefs and have a few individuals in mind including Intaba from Fireworks and a chef from Nearly Normal's.
