Learn how to cook healthy – on a budget - at this four-day cooking
class, based on a cookbook called Good and CHEAP: Eat Well on $4/day.
Learn how to cook healthy – on a budget! This four-day cooking class
is based on a cookbook called Good and Cheap: Eat Well on $4/day by
Leanne Brown. The book was written as part of Ms. Brown’s PhD thesis
and includes a variety of healthy (and delicious!) recipes that can be
prepared for just $4 per day – the amount per day that a person
receives if he/she qualifies for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (formerly Food Stamps).
Each session includes practical cooking instruction from Convivium
chefs; exposure and hands-on experience preparing a variety of new
real-food ingredients; as well as resources and tips on how to meal
prep, navigate a grocery store, and eat healthy on a budget. (See each
class’s itinerary below).
This class will consist of FOUR SESSIONS – two sessions each week,
taking place on Sunday and Monday evenings, for two weeks.
Participants must attend all four sessions. Kids ages 6-12 are welcome
to join, free of charge, if accompanied by an adult. Kids 12-15 must
also be accompanied by an adult and must register separately. Anyone
16+ can register and attend on their own.
