BUCKSPORT — Are you looking for ways to stretch your food budget and create healthy and delicious meals at home? Join Healthy Acadia for Cooking Matters, a free, healthy eating, healthy cooking on-a-budget class series at Bucksport Regional Health Clinic, 110 Broadway. This free workshop series is designed to help participants gain the skills and confidence to create meals they will love while also making the most of their time and budget. Participants will learn how to plan menus, select nutritious and low-cost ingredients, and prepare them in ways that taste great and provide the best nourishment possible for themselves and their families.
Classes will meet on Tuesdays from 3-4 p.m. for six weeks: Aug.12, 19 and 26 and Sept. 2, 16 and 23. Please note, there will be no class on Sept. 9. In each session, Healthy Acadia Maine SNAP-Ed Nutrition Educator Christine Dentremont will feature a food demonstration with hands-on cooking opportunities and recipes for participants to take home. Participants who attend all six classes will receive a free gift bag, cookbook, and kitchen items.
Classes are free; however; pre-registration is required as seating is limited. Contact Dentremont by email at [email protected] for more information and to register for this class series.
