Sign up for the Cooking Matters course
Share our Strength’s Cooking Matters hands-on courses empower families with the skills to be self-sufficient in the kitchen. Our participants and volunteer instructors come together each week to share lessons and meals with each other. Classes are FREE to the public and are taught in both English and Spanish.
Classes 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 $12 budget. Participants take home a bag of groceries after each class so they can practice the recipes taught that day.
