Child Nutrition and Cooking

Child Nutrition and Cooking was a course on Coursera, taught by the Stanford University. I did it in 2016. It was quite interesting. Maya Adam, MD taught the course. The course taught about the importance of starting good eating habits early in life, so that they will last a lifetime.
