A Virtual Cooking Class had students learning about pulses and expanding their culinary skills with dorm-friendly recipes; Donna Winham, assistant professor in food science and human nutrition, developed the Virtual Cooking Class research project because of two university-wide surveys she conducted that indicated many Iowa State University students are food insecure (17-34%) and desire more convenient and sustainable food sources.
Students assisting Winham with the Virtual Cooking Class research project include:
- Kimberly Chew, senior in dietetics
- Claire Groth, senior in dietetics
- Michelle Heer, RDN, staff member in food science and human nutrition
- Stefanie Jensen, RDN, dietetic intern
- Simon Knoblauch, RDN, staff member in food science and human nutrition
- Megan Lampright, sophomore in dietetics
- Eileen Moran, senior in dietetics
- Spencer Winn, RDN, graduate student in apparel, events, and hospitality management
