What do you get when you cross a Campus Kitchen team with hotel and restaurant management experience, a social work course, and public health and biology students? Apparently, a productive day full of life lessons, “Ah Ha!” moments and food.

Chef/Instructor Susan Callahan recently took a slow cooker grant opportunity and turned it into a information packed seminar, led by the Campus Kitchen at University of Maryland Eastern Shore at the Universities at Shady Grove, for community partner: The Dwelling Place.

The video below captures the creativity students devised to run interactive workshops promoting life skills to low-income families without a lot of extra time to cook and clean economically. Take a look. Learn something. Be inspired.
