4 — Indiana’s Cookin’ - Indiana Gazette, Monday, March 26, 2012 Wagoner and interns ready for the show DIANE WAGONER Catering For the past nine years, as a representative from the food and nutrition department at IUP, I have been invited to participate in the Indiana’s Cookin’ Show. What an honor and a pleasure it is to work on a project that not only involves cooking good food, but eating it, too! New this year is a stronger collaboration with the Indiana University of Pennsylvania culinary students resulting in a dynamic program that will be sure to simultaneously educate and entertain. The IUP community has much to offer, and joint efforts with the dietetic interns and the culinary students are a unique example of how future professionals work together to “make things happen.” Without their help this show (724) 349-7663 Caterers of unique events centered around remarkably good food. As a small restaurant and catering firm, we have orchestrated all types of events; from 20 to 200 people. • Bridal Showers • Weddings • Rehearsal Dinners • Picnics • Baby Showers • Graduation Parties • Retirement Parties • Corporate Meetings and Dinners • Elegant Cocktail Parties Our mission is to make each and every event special. MARCH 29th Register for a FREE MONTH! • All New Equipment • 24/7 Keyless Entry • Fitness Classes • Personal Trainers • Tanning & Massage would be more of a challenge. We are hoping their joint efforts will please everybody. The new format also includes a change of venue, now taking place at the KCAC, which provides comfortable seating and state of the art sound and projection systems. Tickets are selling fast ... and we like to see that. I am really looking forward to working with Chef Wutsch and his students (I think!) and, as always, you never know what will happen. Thinking fast on your feet is a must. My passion for food began when I was very young. I grew up in the “era” where eating out in restaurants was a special occasion and “eating in” was family time. We all helped cook, set the table (yes ... we ate at a table) and clean up. We didn’t always have a gourmet meal but we didn’t starve either. In fact we ate well enough that I remember when our whole family was on a “diet”… and not the healthy kind! Thus one of my reasons for studying and teaching about how we can eat well — and still like it. Since becoming employed at IUP 19 years ago, I have taught a wide range of classes on food, nutrition and management. I have a particular interest in promoting healthy eating behavior among the adult population, particularly parents who are interested in how to best feed their children and themselves. Start with a goal, Finish with results... 655 Church St., Indiana • 724-463-8696 (TOWN) • uptownfitnessindiana.com My favorite approach to teaching about nutrition is conducting food demonstrations on simple dishes that feature common ingredients, are low in cost and, of course, are tasty. Eating and cooking well isn’t as hard as some people think. Sometimes I think we forget that food is not the enemy. It is something we need and we should enjoy it. As a registered dietitian, I also supervise interns enrolled in the nutrition education component of IUP’s dietetic internship program. While my job is to provide guidance and support, I learn from them continuously. They are very creative and enthusiastic — and energetic. Their involvement with this show is a great way for them to learn firsthand what it takes to manage such an event. Additionally it is a great community service opportunity. Every year they comment on the reward of such an experience. There has never been a time where I haven’t been interested in some aspect of food, whether it be related to health or just simple food preparation … and eating the end product, of course. But the involvement in Indiana’s Cookin’ is much more. It is a great opportunity for the IUP community to link with the Indiana community as we work toward raising money for Indiana County’s food bank. What better way to spend time together?
