Learning through Food

Teaching culture with clarity, care, and intention.

You've built a great foundation for your classroom. But lately, you've been feeling like you're spinning your wheels trying to get students to connect with the curriculum.

We can fix that. We partner with educators to craft hands-on learning experiences that engages students, fits the curriculum, and feels achievable. Whether its a lesson plan about cultural heritage and identity or resources for bringing history to life, we'll design materials that will save time, spark curiosity, and deepen learning.

Spark curiosity in your classroom!

How We Support

In partnership with teachers like you, we've designed custom offerings to help you incorporate food into your classroom efficiently and effectively. Here's how:

I need support planning units about cultural heritage and identity.

Curriculum Consulting

Get support and a clear actionable plan for your curriculum in a one-on-one planning session. This program is designed for passionate educators looking to integrate food history, culture, and social justice into their curriculum. We provide customized support to ensure that your curriculum meets your educational goals and engages and excites students!

I need ready-to-use lesson plans and activities that I can plug into my classroom.

Custom Lesson Plans & Activities

Designed for your grade level, subject, and classroom needs, each plan is standards-aligned, thoughtfully developed, and ready to implement with minimal prep. Optional support can include homework design and feedback on lesson plans to strengthen curriculum.
