Sustainability Reminder: Please bring your own utensils, water bottle, and to-go containers for extra food (make a bento)! We are striving for a zero-waste event. These are the Anteater ways to express our love and respect for the environment.

Happy Autumn!

Maybe this is your first quarter at UCI, or maybe this is your last year. I am sure you’re feeling very excited, a bit anxious, and probably already overwhelmed! Let’s take a moment to learn about establishing healthy eating and cooking habits at the beginning of a new academic year!

Bring a lunch box or a reusable container, utensils and a water bottle/cup. We will teach you how to cook a few simple, healthy, and economical dishes. Believe me, learning how to cook, eat, and meal prep well (and cheaply) is a key to your physical and mental well-being as well as academic success!

DIRECTIONS: Go to the ARC (Anteater Rec. Center) and tell the front desk that you're here for the cooking event. Head up the stairs take a left and follow the hallway all the way down past the indoor track and take a right at the end of the hallway.
