  “CookShop’s lessons have students readily eating vegetables in our cafeteria that my nutritionist and our parents have told me they were not eating before. CookShop is an essential weapon in our healthy living– healthy eating fight to change the obesity rates in our school and in our neighborhood.” —C.S. 21 Principal Harold Anderson
