RD Exam Prep: Cultural Considerations

Welcome to RD Boot Camp's podcast episode, "Cultural Considerations," where hosts Kari Sharp and Anna Bisogno-Papa dive into four engaging real-life, culturally unique scenarios. They discuss essential topics to help you prepare for the RD exam, focusing on making learning fun and memorable.

• First, we interview Danielle Renov who is a cookbook author, recipe developer, and food and lifestyle blogger. She lives in Israel and will discuss kosher dietary laws.
• Then, we’ll talk with Mina, who owned a grocery store that followed halal guidelines. She’ll explain Islamic dietary laws.
• Next, we hear from Josh, a Catholic missionary, who will share how food has brought people and his family together.
• Finally, we interview Susan, a Seventh-day Adventist and a dietitian at a local hospital. She’ll discuss how the Adventist community encourages a plant-based lifestyle.

There are so many more important cultures that were not discussed in this podcast, but are covered in the Cultural Caterer unit in RD Boot Camp’s interactive prep course. This episode offers valuable knowledge and strategies for connecting real-life practice with exam day success.
