Mindy Meyers, Ph.D., has been in the field of education for more than 25 years, teaching, writing curriculum design, and mentoring teachers. She loves working with kids and they love working with her. She came up with the idea of an educational cooking afterschool program and camp when she observed how much more children learned when they were taught cultural content while they cooked. By offering up explanations about a food's origins and demystifying cultural differences, she saw how children's engagement grew. "Cooking and eating takes on a different meaning when you understand the back story," said Mindy. "Learning about a country and its culture, then preparing that country's food truly enriches a lesson, and makes the eating and learning experience that much more delicious!"
