Program Highlight: GiGi Kitchen

GiGi’s Kitchen is designed to emphasize the importance of health and wellness through nutrition education, kitchen safety, food preparation, social activities, and a shared meal/snack. Participants will learn about and progress through skills including measurements, food handling, knife skills, ingredient identification, palette expansion, and nutrition. Participants will be introduced to various cooking techniques and will increase their self-esteem and self-confidence with their peers. This program works so well virtually! Participants are able to learn to cook and bake in their own kitchens making this a fabulous class that teaches some great life skills.

Owen, seen here is sharing the wonderful pizza that he made at class.
