It's lit 🔥 (literacy, that is)! The spring 2025 issue of Bravo is here, and it's all about Food Literacy at Bon Appétit. Swipe through the carousel or read on for a preview of the issue. 👇
💡 Starting on page 24, the anchor story "It's Lit" explores our new philosophy on food literacy and highlights our unique, industry-leading food education programming, including Healthy Kids, The Fellows Program (hey @bamcofellows 👋), and engaging wellness activations.
8️⃣8️⃣ The Great 88 is a by-no-means-comprehensive sampler of what food literacy at Bon Appétit looks like in practice. Starting on page 29, examples include how, for Healthy Athletes, our certified sports dietitians teach athletes how to best power their days, and that our Fellows facilitated 294 tabling events, kitchen tours, and pop-up activations between 2022 and 2024.
👨🏫 Teaching kitchens break down barriers, foster connections, and prove that food education can be fun. But what does it take to operate one successfully? We explore some of our most successful teaching kitchen programs starting on page 16 to learn just that!
🐄 Last but not least, we explore the dilemmas of dairy! Currently, dairy milk is a staple in most Bon Appétit cafés, representing a significant portion of potential year-round Farm to Fork spend. Starting on page 20, we address common criticisms lobbed in dairy milk’s direction, arguing why sourcing local dairy products is more important than you might think.
