Success StoryThe Joy of Cooking



The Joy of Cooking

Author: Lisa Lamb

Planning Unit: Garrard County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

I started a new class in late July at a recovery center there were 6 participants at the first lesson. 3 of those 6 proclaimed that they did not like to cook, Cooking was a chore that had to be done and 1 said I don't cook because all you can do is cook the same ole thing week after week. On the third lesson I was told by these same 3 clients that they don't feel like it is a chore anymore, one said they will never starve to death because they now can cook good food, they all three said the recipes were so easy and quick and good for them too. I left that meeting knowing I had changed the life of those 3 clients. Two of them have graduated the program and they took their recipe books with them and were thankful to have learned what they did from the class.
