Young Chef Nutrition Workshop Presented By Shanghai Disney Resort’s International Chefs Day Festival

In celebration of chefs around the world, Shanghai Disney Resort honors International Chefs Day each year on October 20th, with this year’s theme centered on Healthy Foods for Growing Up.

As part of the festivities, the resort hosted a “Young Chef Nutrition Workshop” at the Hangtou Primary School in Shanghai’s Pudong New District. The workshop featured lessons about nutrition and health as well as practice in making and tasting healthy food, bringing an educational and engaging experience to nearly 100 students.

Darlene Brady, Director of Food & Beverage Operations at Shanghai Disney Resort, and Dr. Zang Jiajie, Nutrition and Health Expert at the Shanghai Disease Control and Prevention Center, kicked off the event with a talk on the importance of nutrition and healthy living.

Following the discussion on nutrition, students put on their white chef hats and headed to the much anticipated cooking class. Under careful guidance from Shanghai Disney Resort chefs, students chose from a variety of healthy and nutritious ingredients to create a salad in the shape of Mickey’s head. At the end of the session, each student was awarded with a “Young Chef Nutrition Workshop Certificate of Completion”. A big congratulations to these young chefs!
Meanwhile, on the school playground, Shanghai Disney Resort Ambassadors and volunteers from the Disney VoluntEARS program organized a fun trivia game to test students’ knowledge on healthy eating. The winners were overjoyed to receive special gifts prepared by Shanghai Disney Resort.
Lunch time! At the end of the workshop, the culinary team prepared a nutritious buffet lunch for the students. With salad, fruit, a main course, and even dessert, each dish brought with it a taste of the magical and nutritional dining experience offered at Shanghai Disney Resort.
