BOONE, N.C. — College of Arts and Sciences Sustainability Liaison Carla Ramsdell, in collaboration with Appalachian State University's Office of Sustainability and Energy Management, invites students to register for "Cooking with Purpose," an online cooking series open to all App State students.
The goal of Cooking with Purpose is to increase awareness about how to prepare healthful food using sustainable ingredients and techniques and to showcase ingredients that are inexpensive and typically available at App State's Mountaineer Food Hub. The program is open to all App State students and offered online via Zoom.
This semester's series will consist of three drop-in sessions offered at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 18; Wednesday, March 25; and Sunday, April 12. Participants are welcome to attend any sessions they can.
Information about ingredients and kitchen tools will be provided prior to each session. Help may be available for students needing assistance procuring ingredients and/or equipment.
To express interest in Cooking with Purpose, submit this form. Submitting this form does not signify a commitment — it simply allows organizers to communicate with interested parties about ingredients and equipment.
