HEALTH EDUCATION RECIPES
The Health Education Recipes section provides a set of hands-on, practical health education activities to be used among farmworker audiences. This section includes “recipes” that lay-out a series of steps to carry out a 30-60 minute health education session along with Information Sheets that provide useful background information on the topic at hand. The Information Sheets are written for health educators only. These sheets are not a comprehensive summary of all there is to know about the topic; instead, they capture key information relevant to the Health Education Recipes that correspond to that topic.

Each Health Education Recipe is intended to stand alone; however, one, two, three, or more recipes can be delivered in any order and independent of one another. Recipes can be used in conjunction with existing curriculum, but should not be considered a substitute for a comprehensive health education curriculum for the topics addressed in this chapter. Specifically, the Health Education Recipes are organized in the following manner:
