Kent State’s Dining Services competed in the 11th annual Nutritious and Delicious Gala at the Tangier restaurant in Akron. The annual gala was hosted by the Greater Akron Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (GAAND) and comprised of various vendors such as Core Life, Farm Fare, Food 4 Thought Café, and many others. The gala’s mission was “to be the advocate of the dietetic profession serving the public through promotion of optimal nutrition and well-being by advocating for its members”. The event served as a fundraiser for the GAAND Student Scholarship to help fund students around Northeast Ohio.

Chef Edmondson prepared roasted beet & arugula grilled cauliflower pizza and gluten free chocolate chip cookies stuffed with espresso marsala mascarpone.
