If you are wondering how this idea came to be, the city last year launched the Chefs in the Schools programme, which brings scratch-cooking and healthier food options to students. The programme is a partnership with the New York City Department of Education’s Office of Food and Nutrition Services and the Mayor’s Office of Food Policy.

“Gourmet-looking lunches are coming to New York City public schools—here’s a preview of what kids can expect,” says the caption of the video.

She added that she had hated school lunch as a kid and felt happy with how things are changing.
