This week on A Chef's Table...
It's time to head back to school. You won't recognize today's cafeteria food. We spoke with some members of the School Nutrition Association -- aka "The Cafeteria Ladies" about changes on the menu. And, you remember that lunchbox from kindergarten? What do you think it is worth now? We talk to a collector. News on kids and cholesterol, and we take a look at dishes from Spain, Cyprus and beyond. Plus Chef Coleman's recipe for healthy lunchbox cookies and much more!

This week's featured recipe:
Oatmeal Almond Cookies

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

Lidia describes this as the pinnacle of her career, something she could never have imagined when she was a young girl immigrating to the United States with the help of Catholic Charities. A Chef's Table Lari Robling called Lidia to find out about this unique experience.
