Classes are suitable for both beginner and seasoned cooks, and anyone looking to learn more about healthier preparation techniques and topics that are good for the family and the wallet.

This course is designed to help you around the challenge of cooking a quick evening dish for yourself or rustling up a family meal.

With a little know-how, learn to eat well and free up valuable time.
The lesson topics will cover food safety, unit pricing, nutrition label reading, smart shopping, portion control, and more! You will be able to learn the techniques of roasting, marinating, stir frying, grilling, baking, steaming and sautéing.
The whole family is invited to attend the classes from 6-8 p.m. on Feb. 21, Feb. 28, March 21, and March 28. The classes will be held at Cedar Grove Missionary Baptist Church, 1229 Cedar Grove Rd SW, Supply NC, 28462.
