Amazing how much I learned watching videos with all the exact words. Not only about nutrition, but about our planet and how to take care of it. Also very inspiring for having ideas for foods for kids.

Ha sido interesante, pero no me ha aportado muchas cosas nuevas, además tengo la sensación que muchos temas se han ido repitiendo mucho al largo del curso.

Pero sin duda ha sido interesante aprender.

The course was pretty informative and stressed on the basics and fun of cooking.But i found it to be a little repetitive through the weeks and also more technical information could have been shared.

Good and clear content. A bit from an American point of view... I missed some in depth explanation (like the class of the nerv-system or the Glycemic index). Overall easy to watch and good lessons.

Loved the course, would take a continuation if available. Little basic but with enough info. Great ideas for cooking. Felt it was too based in USA information and some was not really conclusive.

I think it is a good class for parents and guardians that are middle or upper-class. I feel like it doesn't do enough to address the challenges lower families may face when food planning.

There are some nice cooking tips, but this is targeted to very young students/parents with no cooking experience, and I expected more than general information on food impacts on children.

A very good course. I would appreciate if the context of the course could be GLOBAL instead of US Centric. Since I am an Indian, I found many references non-relevant to our culture.

Nice course about eating suggestions and good recipes

It could be useful giving details on how making a diet for children, with information about calories they need and so on

An OK course for parents who are absolutely new to cooking. If you have a reasonable background, it does not teach you a lot. Furthermore, it's a bit too US-focused.

Presentation is entertaining and easy to follow, as well as original, but expected increased deepness of contents and complexity of recipes.

Good and well explained course for layman. If one is already into healthy eating and cooking then there is very limited new info in it.

The course seems like it would benefit parents but does not do much for a nutrition health professional.

Simplistic. But so easy for anyone to watch and learn. I wish more people would take this course.
