Our various Cooking Series usually run 3-4 weeks and are designed for different groups of people. We’ve conducted sessions with youth, seniors, and families. Learn how to make simple, healthy, tasty, and affordable meals. Cook with others, connect, eat, and share your knowledge in a welcoming and inclusive space.
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.
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 follow this page and subscribe to our YouTube channel.
