EMMET – The United Christian Church of Emmet celebrated its first Cooking Matters class December 17, 2019 with 11 participants completing the program.
Cooking Matters is a six-week course empowering seniors and low-income families to create nutritious meals on a limited budget. Each two-hour class provided instructional guidance in basic nutrition, food safety, cooking techniques, and food budgeting.
Participants received take home groceries to practice a recipe they learned in class that day. The instructor provided interactive activities for each lesson where participants engaged in discussion and shared ideas from their experience. One of the best activities was sitting down together to eat what they had prepared. New ideas and suggestions were always welcome, giving the participants something new to try. We encourage you to take the opportunity to participate in a Cooking Matters Course.
