With the other 5% saying they can’t eat the food items due to health reason or just don’t like an item in the recipe.

There are several participants that attend weekly showing interest in what new recipe is available and have stated they made one of the earlier samples at home. Just being able to know how to prepare different recipes and use a variety of fresh food items will help others in our community make healthier choices one plate at a time.
