-Alex Brown, Volunteer Chef
"It was so much fun. What a luxury to prance in and have it all ready and then leave. A little decadent but oh, so appreciated."
-Barbara Lang, Volunteer Chef
"The curriculum is simple, basic and fun. It is so frontline, so user-friendly in the field. It's been good every time since I taught my first class. Things are well-explained; they don't waste time spelling out the obvious. The lessons give you the meat of the matter."

Participant Feedback
"Having the youngsters participate was excellent. They learned skills, nutrition, cooperation and appreciation. Poor eating habits and poor quality of food has led my health to bad places with digestion problems, food allergies and even a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes. What did I learn from all this? You are what you eat is truer than I ever realized. Gradually I began to change my eating habits, educating myself about proper nutrition, reaching out for help to learn how to get healthier."
