REVIEW:
The Web site has information on planning, preparing and serving meals as well as regulations and software. A main feature of
the site is a searchable database of reviewed training materials for school food-service and child-nutrition personnel. Users can sign
up for the MEALTALK mailing list to discuss issues with other professionals or look over the archives from the list on the site. The site
has recipes and menus as well as a new section where users can contact a chef to receive expert advice. Links to resources from the food
industry, the USDA and outside sources are also available. This is the place for administrators, food service personnel and child nutrition
professionals to communicate with others in their fields and to stay current on issues.
