EduChef
EduChef is a sustainable food education program aimed at first-year off-campus students enrolled in both undergraduate and graduate programs, who live independently and manage their daily nutrition on their own. The goal is to promote lifestyles oriented towards well-being and responsible consumption.
The project, which is essentially a cooking course, takes place at the beginning of the academic year and offers four editions each year, with 16 participants per edition. The lessons are held in Padua from Monday to Friday in the evening at cooking laboratories.
During the sessions, students have the opportunity to learn guidelines for managing their food pantry, as well as the necessary knowledge for the proper storage of fresh foods, kitchen safety, and the potential of a one-dish meal. They also receive training in the preparation of first courses, main courses, and desserts.
The initiative aims to spread awareness of the basic principles of healthy cooking, as well as increase awareness of the impact our food choices can have on the environment, communities, and individuals.
