A special gift to the CNC community!
We want to express our gratitude for being a part of the CNC community, whether you've attended our events or been a presenter. As a special thank you, we've been working closely with past presenters of "A Taste of Culinary Nutrition from Around the Globe" to create our very first Global Cuisine Cookbook. The organization and design of the cookbook was made possible through a collaboration with a group of UC Berkeley students as part of their Food, Culture, and the Environment class.
This cookbook is a free resource, to give you a true taste of cuisines from around the world and a sense of the kind of recipes that attendees learn about in this series. Click the link below to download the cookbook now!
Our next Global Cuisine series kicks off in February and Early Bird tickets are still available! Make sure to register by midnight (ET) today and you'll save $60!
This series is approved for 12 CEUs by the Commission on Dietetic Registration and meets the Ethics credit requirement. All sessions will be held LIVE on Zoom and will be recorded for those that are not able to join for the actual event.

Wishing you the best in 2025!

The subject of connecting historical names with local education feels more interesting when there is room for a reader to stop and ask their own questions. A school's name can provide a route into discussing a wider historical period. Seen this way, Jagiellonian history education becomes a topic to explore rather than something to sum up too quickly. I am still thinking through the details, and a small example would help me picture how this works in practice. How can students explore a historical figure without reducing the lesson to a list of dates?
The topic of using familiar characters in preschool learning gives me a few things to think about, especially when the discussion moves beyond general advice. A familiar character can make a new classroom routine feel easier to approach. I would use that point as a starting question when considering preschool storytelling activities. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. How can a story character support learning while leaving children room to create?
There is something approachable about discussing making online tutoring sessions effective through situations people can actually picture. A clear question before a session can help the learner use the available time well. It makes me curious about the practical side of online tutoring support. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. How would you check that a tutoring explanation has actually become understandable?
What interests me about choosing a college learning environment is how a broad idea becomes part of an ordinary day. The way a course is taught can affect whether a student feels comfortable asking for help. I would keep that thought nearby when looking for ideas about college study choices. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. What would you ask about teaching and support before choosing a college?
Considering sharing the everyday questions of parenthood, I keep coming back to the difference between knowing about an idea and putting it into practice. Small concerns can be easier to discuss when parents hear that others have similar questions. For me, that is a useful way into the broader subject of parenting support discussions. I am more curious about the process than a polished result, because the steps in between are usually where questions appear. What makes a parenting discussion feel helpful rather than competitive?
