Cook and Grow is located at Read's Artspace,
​1042 Broad St, Bridgeport, CT 06604.
Cook and Grow is a Junior Chef program for children 8-13 years old. This program was founded by Chef Mona Jackson in 2009 and teaches kitchen safety, food preparation, cooking, nutrition, and how to be informed consumer. 

Students learn about growing, preparing and cooking healthier meals. Our program is designed to address the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and the dramatic increase of childhood obesity. Students will grow the fresh vegetables and herbs that they will cook with and learn to read and understand food labels to make better choices.
