2026 Teaching Kitchen Research Conference
September 23-24, 2026 | Boston

The Teaching Kitchen Research Conference (TKRC) returns in 2026! Building on the success of TKRC 2022, where hundreds of researchers, educators, healthcare leaders, and culinary innovators came together to advance the science and practice of teaching kitchens, the 2026 conference will once again highlight groundbreaking research, collaboration, and strategies to transform health through experiential culinary and lifestyle education. Mark your calendar and plan to be part of this global conversation.

“I learned that this movement is strong and moving with momentum. I will be taking this inspiration to refuel the passion with which I do my work and make sure to gather data and publish on the efficacy of teaching kitchens.”

I was very impressed with the caliber of the speakers - their knowledge, their passion and their credentials. I felt as though I was given access to a depth that I didn't know was available in this space.

I can't tell you how grateful I am for this conference as it allowed a platform where I could connect with ‘my people’ while also connecting with other academics or policy makers I would not otherwise have access to.

Conference Attendee

The focus on diversity and health equity was valuable and will increase my awareness of this in our program.

Conference Attendee

Funny, it took one quote ....not having a teaching kitchen to teach about nutrition is like not having a surgical room for resident doctors learning how to operate. That was enough to spark my passion to aggressively (in a nice way) speak up at my institution to go for a teaching kitchen.
