Case Cooks to Return to Teaching Kitchen in Fall 2023

We are pleased to announce that our Case Cooks series of classes (NTRN 200, NTRN 200H, and NTRN 200S) will be offered in-person for the first time since 2020 in fall 2023.  Students will have the option to take any of the three courses either fully in-person in a hybrid setting.  The hybrid sections will include two in-person sessions each in the teaching kitchen, and the remaining 4 sessions will be delivered asynchronously online.

To help you choose the section that's right for you, we've broken down the full schedule for each class below.  If you have any questions, please email us at nutrition@case.edu.
