This 12 week program is designed to provide moms with safe cooking skills and experience in preparing food in a home style kitchen. Our goal is to teach moms how to prepare meals from natural ingredients that are delicious, affordable, and nutritious. Our cooking experts work with each student individually and teaching them techniques based on their strengths and abilities. The program works to ensure that reasonable accommodations are made to include moms with disabilities or challenges. Each mom leaves the program with experience in food preparation, kitchen safety and sanitation, food safety and a set of recipes to prepare at home for their family.
