**Teaching kitchens are more than kitchens. They are learning laboratories where individuals receive: nutrition education, hands-on cooking instruction, information regarding importance of exercise, mindfulness instruction and behavioral change strategies. This conference looks at the impact of teaching kitchen programs on behavior, clinical outcomes (biomarkers), costs and environmental sustainability.
