Join your in-store dietitian and PC Cooking School to learn about nutrition and healthier cooking. Your Dietitian will discuss the new Canada’s Food Guide as well as take you through an interactive grocery store tour. This tour will discuss healthier options and where to find them to help with your weekly meal planning. Your PC Cooking School Chef will serve you a healthy balanced lunch. Your Chef will offer an array of healthy cooking tips and your in-store dietitian will highlight the nutrition component of the products used. Your Chef will also offer you an insightful and interactive session to discuss healthier substitutions to use for baking or cooking such as adding more fibre and reducing sugar. Your dietitian will discuss the benefits of these substitutions as it relates to children. There will be lots of time to ask your Chef and Dietitian about healthy eating and cooking throughout the day and will leave with resources to take home with you.
