Food Service of the Uruguayan American School

The Uruguayan American School (UAS) is a private college preparatory school enrolling approximately 320 international and host country students in Nursery through Grade 12.
My job here as a School Nutritionist is to partner with the outsourced food service provider to ensure a nutritionally sound food program that supports healthy food habits while maintaining customer satisfaction. Our mission is to offer fresh, seasonal and local market cuisine.
Lunches and snacks are prepared according to our law N° 19.140, which promotes healthy eating habits in schools.

Foodways at Nana Cardoon

Our programs draw from our own cultural histories while honoring connections with peasant farmers around the world.  We think of meals, produced from our farm by our students, as the binding elements of culture and our connection, throughg hands in the dirt, to agrarian cultures the world over, and to ourselves.  Our goal with students of all ages is the silence that settles in when a table full of eaters realizes they are tasting something from the garden, incrediblly delicious, fresh and nutritious, and that they had a hand in producing.

Sugar Beet Schoolhouse

In 2012 our community began building a grocery co-op that celebrates local producers and growers called Sugar Beet Food Co-op. In the process, we organized a 501c3 called Sugar Beet Schoolhouse that would continue to serve our diverse community with food literacy programming once the co-op opened.

In January 2017 Sugar Beet Schoolhouse grew to include a shared use commercial kitchen to serve as an incubator for budding food business, a small greenhouse for growing and education and a teaching kitchen for our cooking classes for all ages.
