3 Fresh & Fun Culinary Resources You’ll Love

Hey fellow culinary educators!

I’m so excited to share a brand new trio of salad-themed resources that I just dropped in my TpT store! My students are NOT excited when I tell them we are doing a salad unit. They want the cookie, breads and cake unit please. So I find I have to work a bit harder to sell them these lessons about one of the most colorful food items and a personal favorite type of dish they will make in my class.

Whether you’re teaching Culinary Arts, FCS, ProStart, or Foods classes, these materials are designed to make your lesson planning easier and your classroom more engaging—while helping your students actually retain what they’re learning (and have fun doing it).

Here’s what’s new:

🥬 1. Salads & Dressings Lesson Plan

Grab it here →This detailed, ready-to-go lesson covers types of salads, components, dressings, plating, and more. It’s perfect for culinary units focused on nutrition, flavor profiles, or food styling. Easy to adapt, packed with structure, and made with teachers in mind.

📊 2. Salads & Dressings PowerPoint Presentation

Check it out →This clean, visually engaging slide deck pairs perfectly with the lesson plan. It walks students through key concepts with images and prompts that spark discussion. Whether you're projecting it during class or using it for blended/online learning, it's ready to go.

🕵️‍♀️ 3. Whodunit? Salads & Dressings Game

Play detective here →This interactive, clue-based game turns your classroom into a culinary crime scene. Students use critical thinking to solve a “whodunit” mystery related to salad-making mishaps—while reviewing content in a way that’s way more memorable than a worksheet.

Each product stands alone beautifully—but together, they make a full mini-unit that’s interactive, standards-aligned, and student-approved.

If you’ve been looking for fresh ways to spice up your culinary curriculum, this salad trio is for you!

Let me know if you try them—I’d love to hear how they go in your classroom.

Stay sharp and keep it tasty, Stephanie
