Penn State Extension planned and conducted Let’s Cook at Home: Herbs and Spices webinar with live food demonstrations to introduce this topic to the public. The participant evaluations guided the design of an ongoing research project to evaluate the effectiveness of short online videos to teach healthy cooking using herbs and spices. This webinar highlighted the partnership between Penn State Extension and the Penn State Department of Nutritional Sciences to provide the public with the knowledge and confidence to incorporate herbs and spices into their meal planning.

If you missed it, a link to the recording is available here. 

Thank you to all the participants that joined us and to our presenters for a very informative webinar!
