Cooking Matters

What is Cooking Matters?

Cooking Matters is a hands-on course that empowers families with the skills to be self-sufficient in the kitchen. In communities across America, our participants and volunteer instructors come together each week to share lessons and meals with each other.

​Courses meet for two hours, once a week for six weeks and are team-taught by a volunteer chef and nutrition educator. Lessons cover meal preparation, grocery shopping, food budgeting and nutrition. Participants practice fundamental food skills, including proper knife techniques, reading ingredient labels, cutting up a whole chicken, and making a healthy meal for a family of four on a $10 budget. Adults and teens take home a bag of groceries after each class so they can practice the recipes taught that day.

Check back for when we will offer our next class session!
