Cooking Matters Course Teaches Essential Meal Prep and Planning

UT Extension of Sevier County recently graduated 14 individuals in its Cooking Matters Course.

This six-week program was developed through a Share Our Strength grant, which was piloted in Sevier County. Participants learned and displayed skills in food preparation, healthy meal planning and food budgeting/shopping. They also competed in a $10 grocery store challenge at Food City, as well as successfully prepared healthy meals for their families.
