Research shows that people who prepare and cook meals at home are more likely to eat the recommended fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains needed in a balanced diet. Building cooking skills and knowledge increases the likelihood that people choose to prepare homecooked meals. To encourage more home-prepared meals, the Barren County Extension Office presented the Savor the Flavor series to a group of seventeen individuals. The Savor the Flavor program focused on various cooking methods and flavoring techniques. Extension developed this program as a way to teach people how to make home-prepared meals that are flavorful and exciting. These methods are basic and easy to incorporate into home cooking. Yet people commonly say they are unsure or intimidated by cooking and don’t always know how to expand their skills in the kitchen to create flavorful meals. The goal of this program is to increase knowledge about cooking methods and ways to add flavor to food. At the workshop held in Barren County, seventeen people participated. After the workshop, ninety percent reported an increase in understanding when it comes to using different types of herbs, spices and oils for cooking. One hundred percent reported that they intended to try new types of herbs and seasonings as well as explore different cooking methods as a result of the class. Additionally, all participants agreed that the program was practical as well as educational.
