Cooking 101 was developed and implemented by the Family and Consumer Science council. Cooking 101 began in late fall of 2018 and will continue through fall of 2019. This class is a hands-on monthly class where participants help prepare recipes. The program is a collaboration between the county FCS agents and the nutrition program assistants. The staff demonstrates cooking skills at each class and each teaches some related nutrition facts. Participants are divided into groups and given a recipe to prepare. After all are completed participants sample all the group prepared dishes. In one class they prepared a soup from the calendar. They learned how to menu plan and how to use leftovers to make the soup. Food safety was also implemented by showing the correct temperature to cook poultry. All participants love the classes and look forward to the next one.
