Author Information

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) launched this competition in September 2010 in support of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative. The USDA collaborated with the American Culinary Federation (ACF) and the School Nutrition Association (SNA) on this nationwide competition. Teams of students (grades 4 to 12), school nutrition professionals, chefs, parents, and other interested community members were challenged to partner and create tasty and healthy new recipes. The top 15 teams were visited by a team of three judges, made up of an USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) member, an ACF chef, and a school nutrition professional. In addition to the national cook-off, over 16,000 public votes were cast online to determine the Popular Choice winner from the top 15 semi-finalist recipes at the competition's web site. The 340 recipes were reviewed and ranked within each category of teams of ACF chefs and USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) staff to determine the top 30 recipes, 10 in each of the three recipe categories.
