Participants will learn a collection of food preparation skills that will increase in difficulty as they move through the program as well as general food and kitchen safety knowledge. They will also be encouraged to try a variety of healthy food options. Throughout the program, participants will work through an activity book with all the recipes they had the opportunity to make.
