In this instructor-led class, participants build practical skills in meal planning, reading and following recipes, and kitchen safety. They practice preparing simple, healthy meals and snacks such as breakfast, lunch, and dinner, using a variety of ingredients and basic cooking techniques. Instruction is provided in a small group setting to allow for hands-on learning, individualized pacing, and support as needed. Skills are reinforced through repetition and real-life application to promote confidence and carryover to home and community settings.
