The cooking class concentrates on their dish.

Scarborough Region Council has once again sponsored the Cooking Class. This time, the class ran during the summer season, which was a pleasant change for instructor Betty Anne Wilson as she was able to search for some interesting warm weather recipes and provide the students with new opportunities to cook. At the end of the program, each student receives a recipe book focused on healthy eating.

There were a few new students, and everyone enjoyed the experience of preparing their own meal after watching Betty Anne demonstrate the recipe. Each person prepares their own portion, thus learning how to put together the whole dish from start to finish. Students take turns preparing the salad, which is different each week and brings a variety of knowledge to the participants. The group then eats the meal they have prepared together.

The Council usually sponsors two sessions per year with 10 classes per session.. The program also has 2-3 dedicated volunteers helping out. The cost of the $150 program is generously supported by Council through Membership donations and Fundraising efforts. The next class begins on Monday, September 19 and runs until Monday, November 28, 2016 from 5-8pm. The class is held in the newly renovated kitchen at 1712 Ellesmere Road.
