Cooking Series

HOME / COOKING SERIES

Date:	Throughout the Spring and Summer
Location:	602 Silica Street Nelson, BC, V1L 4N1 The Nelson Community Food Centre is located in the lower hall of the Nelson United Church.

Our various Cooking Series are usually 6-8 weeks long and are developed for different groups of people. We’ve had sessions with youth, seniors, families and more. As well as learning concrete cooking skills (like working with simple recipes, knife skills and more), these sessions touch upon building knowledge around things like smart shopping, reading package labels with a discerning eye, and building a basic understanding of food security and our local food systems.

The various series are also about fun and making the special connections that happen in the kitchen, making good food and sharing it around a table. Depending on the season, our program participants may also look forward to using same-day picked ingredients from our garden.

To get an idea of what series may be running now (or soon), visit our calendar to learn more.

We are happy to be running two food skills classes currently and they are both fully subscribed. We’ll be offering new classes in the new year. Stay tuned for updates, details and how to join in on the fun on this page and on our calendar.

COMMUNITY MEALS — we continue to serve up super delish community dinners every other week. Join us December 4, 3-6 pm for an enticing selection of hearty soups and salads. December 18, 3-6 pm, we are pulling out all the stops and having a full holiday meal. Hint, hint ~ there will be poultry, other veggie proteins and all kinds of treats!

If you are keen to experiment with some easy-to-follow recipes, check out our Food Skills playlist on our YouTube channel. We try to provide simple recipes, tips and tricks, that’ll make it easier (and hopefully more fun) to cook with the healthy ingredients you pick up from the Good Food Bank every week. We included a couple samples below, but if you don’t want to miss any, subscribe to our YouTube channel.
