Rate My Professor Nichola Agnew

HUNT246 bridges the theory-practice gap through cookery techniques, sensory food quality control, and recipe adaptation in domestic settings. HUNT344 features weekly lectures and practicals leading to a culturally themed Food Truck event using the Taraka Kai food truck, student-led healthy cooking classes, and on-site vegetable gardens for sustainability and food security education. HUNT444 provides advanced study of foodservice theory, applying the foodservice systems model, financial and quality management tools, and team-based food truck projects to meet consumer needs. As practicals coordinator, Agnew oversees student food truck operations that pair tasty fare with healthy eating advice, such as quick, cheap, nutritious meals for school visits. She contributed to the vision for collaborative campus gardens demonstrating garden-to-plate processes, supporting cooking classes, supplying the food truck, and providing fresh produce to promote healthy habits and affordability, in partnership with the Sustainability Office and Pacific Islands Centre. Agnew also supported the Feed My Flat initiative, creating student food bags to shape future nutritional behaviors based on common flat cooking challenges.
