Whether you are getting started in the kitchen or giving your diet a reboot, join us and learn how to make quick, healthy, seasonal and affordable meals. In this active class, you will learn and practice common knife cuts and learn basic, essential techniques for everyday cooking. We will review meal-planning and prepping strategies, share basic recipes, and recommend essential cookware and kitchen equipment (that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!) that will help you feel confident and excited about regularly cooking at home.

You will take home the produce you work with in class, along with recipes for using it. Please bring several large reusable containers or zip-top bags to bring home chopped veggies.We will provide knives for you to use, but feel free to bring your own knives to use in class.

Sections of this class will be active, so please dress appropriately for the kitchen (closed-toe shoes, comfortable clothes, hair tie for long hair). We will sample what we cook, but it will not be a complete meal.
