For the first time ever, the J.A. Henry Community YMCA is inviting the community to roll up their sleeves and spice things up in the kitchen.
Beginning Tuesday, May 6, the YMCA’s brand-new Teaching Kitchen will host a new series of engaging cooking classes designed to empower individuals and families with the tools they need to eat well, cook confidently and live healthier lives.
Open to all skill levels, each interactive, hands-on session focuses on creating simple and nutritious meals that are fun to prepare, easy to make and delicious to eat.
Led by food and nutrition experts, some upcoming sessions include:
- Got Milk? – Discover nutritious plant-based alternatives.
- Back to School Bites – Learn fast, healthy recipes for kids and parents.
- One-Pot Wonders – Create hearty meals with fewer dishes.
- Eat Your Greens – Turn leafy vegetables into crave-worthy dishes.
- Whole Grain Goodness – Add flavor and fiber to everyday meals.
- Kitchen Hacks – Master shortcuts and tips for cooking smarter.
Classes are $30 for YMCA members and $45 for non-members. Full and partial scholarships are available for those who qualify, with up to 100 percent fee coverage offered.
