Family Favorite Recipes

Family Favorites, Great Home Recipes from Across the Country, family in kitchen

Dear Parents,

Last year, the Food Zoo served Family Favorite recipes from Laguna Beach, CA to Brazil. Family Favorite Days bring in students, faculty, and staff from all over campus each fall and spring. Recipes are carefully adjusted by our production manager and chefs to serve over 1000 students while retaining that special family feeling.

UDS welcomes main dishes, vegan and vegetarian dishes, soups, stews, casseroles, desserts, or whatever your student loves the most.  Many of these recipes are so popular we add them to our regular menu.  If your student's recipe is included in the regular Food Zoo menu rotation, you will receive a framed award of recognition and your student will win an iPod!
