COOKING WORKSHOPS
Providing Solutions and Inspiring Families
Cooking Matters®, a campaign of Share Our Strength, inspires families with limited food budgets to make healthy, affordable and delicious meals. This innovative program provides a long-term solution to hunger by teaching practical shopping and cooking skills that make the most of existing resources, even when time and money are tight.
Taught by volunteer nutrition and culinary experts, participants learn about basic nutrition and food budgeting, strategic shopping, and straightforward meal preparation.

To practice what they learn in courses, adult participants receive groceries they can use to create a Cooking Matters meal with their families.
For Cooking Matters resources you can use anytime or anywhere, download the Cooking Matters app for Android. An iPhone version is planned for a future release.
All programs are regularly offered in English and Spanish, and in other languages by request.
