Have you been eating more meals at home? Do you want to expand your knowledge on cooking and try new recipes? If so, join N.C. Cooperative Extension - Lee County Center’s: Cook Smart, Eat Smart Virtual Cooking School. The Cook Smart, Eat Smart Cooking School will teach you and your family how to prepare healthy and delicious food. This program keeps it simple - simple healthy preparation techniques, simple ingredients, and simple equipment.

Cook Smart, Eat Smart is open to the first eight families in Lee County that register through Evenbrite. Classes will take place July 14, 16, 21, and 23 from 4-6pm. Each class, families will meet and cook together virtually using Zoom. The four class sessions will begin with discussion around several basic cooking techniques and other topics related to eating and preparing meals at home. Next, the class instructor will conduct quick cooking demonstrations related to topics discussed. The class will conclude with practicing featured hands-on cooking skills in the comfort of your home kitchen. Recipes, a flexible shopping list, and a program orientation will be shared with participants after they register for the program. Each household that attends all 4 sessions and send us a photo of each meal they prepared will receive a skill building bundle of their choice. Options include a slow cooker meal kit, cooking with kids kit, or meal prep kit. Bundles will be available for pick up at the Lee County Center (2420 Tramway Road, Sanford) once the program is completed.
