Starting on April 3, the District 1 Community Council, the Minnesota Project and MN Extension Service's "Simply Good Eating" program are bringing
free cooking classes to Conway Rec Center (2090 Conway St.). The theme of this 5 week after-school program is "Sports and Nutrition." If you have a child 11-14 years old -- BOY OR GIRL! -- who is interested in sports and wants to learn how to prepare simple, low-cost, nutritious foods that will build muscle and strong bones, bring them or send them to Conway at 3:30p on Tuesday, April 3. They will come home with recipes, cooking skills, and new knowledge about how eating right can help them with whatever sport they are interested in.
This program has its primary focus on kids from low-income families but everyone is welcome and will learn something. Parental permission to work in a kitchen with kitchen implements (including knives) is necessary - that's why we are focused on kids at least 11 years old.
The teacher is great, the recipes are delicious, the class is fun, and you can't beat the price!
