"Kids Cooking Class: Appreciating Nature's Gifts"

Having enough food to eat is a holiday “gift” we all too often take for granted, even though many people do not have enough to eat during this time of year. 

(Did you know that around one third of food is wasted in the United States? That means that out of three apples picked from a tree, one might end up in the garbage–uneaten!) We can show our gratitude this holiday season by learning how to “rescue” food: cooking with parts of the plant or veggie that normally get thrown away, like the seeds of a squash or the top of a carrot. Join us to learn how to turn these “gifts” into a delicious meal fit for a holiday feast (we hope you’ll remember to share!).
