Day 1 of Introductory Program Delivery Training includes an introduction to the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program and philosophy, an overview of the Syllabus, hands-on skills sessions in cooking and gardening, and discussions around using the kitchen and garden as learning spaces.

In the kitchen you will explore making pasta and pizza from scratch, as well as dips and fresh seasonal salads. The dishes made will form a shared lunch, finished off with some simple poached fresh fruit recipes. Garden teams will find themselves running wheelbarrow licence races, getting a solid debrief on tools and equipment, and carrying out some harvesting, composting and mulching in the garden.
