Contest gives KU students a shot to share their healthy kitchen skills

Kansas University students will have a chance to show off what they’ve learned in the kitchen with this year’s Student Recipe Contest on Tuesday, March 8.

The contest is set up to showcase students’ favorite healthy recipes at a free taste testing from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union as part of Healthy Lifestyle Week.

The winners will take home gift cards and get their recipe featured on the menu of the Impromptu Cafe in the Kansas Union for the rest of March. The winners will be determined by taste-testers.

“As college students, it is very important to stay healthy because we are always on the go,” says Kris Velasco, SUA social Issues Coordinator. “This event is a reminder of that.”
