Cooking is an essential skill heading into your future, and making your own favorite foods from scratch is fulfilling and healthy. Learn how to cook sustainably, perfect various recipes and join in on a social experience.

First up is the chance for you to expand your cooking repertoire at the Recreation and Wellness Center's Cook-a-Long class. Located in the facility's Wellness Kitchen, a professional instructor will lead you through each recipe step-by-step so you can develop new skills at your own pace.

Recipes include vegetable spring rolls, beef stir fry with rice and tea scented mandarin oranges. Each recipe will make two servings.

The class will take place on Wednesday, April 14 from 5:30- 7 p.m. Register and learn more on the Wellness Center website.

If you'd like another guided cooking opportunity, or can't make it to the Cook-a-Long class, stop by the Cooking Sustainably Cookwell class on April 22. This class will also last from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Wellness Kitchen.

Here you'll be able to cook your own recipes and learn some new skills. Recipes will include ⁠potato leek soup⁠, vegan coconut curry⁠, and strawberry almond butter parfaits⁠.

The cost for the Cookwell class is $20 per work station, with a max of two people from the same household per station. Register online or via the Mindbody app.
