Food & Nutrition Demonstrations

AKMC chef, Matt Crupie prepares pumpkin pancakes--a crowd pleaser.

Food—an integral part of our

lives, culture, celebrations and holidays—has a remarkable impact on our health. Therefore we need to become more aware of and knowledgeable about making healthy food choices.

At Destination Wellness, our cooking demonstrations help educate the community by giving them new ideas, the desire to improve their diets or eating habits, and to try their hand at preparing the demonstrated food.

Chefs from AKMC's Nutrition Services Department have teamed up with Destination Wellness to demonstrate to the public how to prepare new foods and become creative during mealtime, even if you have only 30 minutes. Learn about different cooking methods, time saving techniques, tips for hosting a party, and more.

Along with the chefs, AKMC dietitians are present to state the facts about food. You will learn how to substitute ingredients, health benefits of foods, supermarket shopping tips, and how to read labels.
