Ready, Set, Cook Curriculum

A picture-based recipe and lesson plan collection

The Ready, Set, Cook! Curriculum comes with multiple components. The Lessons Plans begin by teaching students how to use a color-coded microwave, basic nutrition, and safety skills. A laminated Recipe Reader and Measurement Guide help students to customize the serving sizes their recipe creates. The picture-based Cookbook includes 40 step-by-step, illustrated recipes.

There are five recipe categories in Ready, Set, Cook!:

' Add to It! focuses on basic foods that can be transformed into something more.
' Eat Fresh! encourages eating fresh food you prepare yourself.
' Make It a Meal! incorporates recipes with a variety of food groups that come together to make a complete and well-balanced meal.
' Share It! focuses on the social aspect of eating at get-togethers and makes many servings to share with a group.
' Use It and Reuse It! introduces the concept of cooking one food and incorporating it into many meals over a week.
Some of the recipes are labeled as Speed It Up! with some of the simpler steps cut out or combined to make the recipe more concise.
