Planning for a Successful New Recipe Launch with Your Staff

As with introducing any new recipe to your program, your staff should receive training on how to use and prepare the new recipe. For culturally inclusive recipes that have been developed in collaboration with students and community members, be sure the new recipe training includes information about the recipe development process and the benefits of culturally inclusive recipes to school meal programs. At the end of the training, staff should be able to answer questions from students and school-based staff on the new menu item. Learn more about introducing new culturally inclusive recipes to your staff through this tip sheet.
