Cook and Grow is a revolving 6-week, after-school program for children 8-13 years old. This program was founded by Chef Mona Jackson. This revolving 6-week program teaches kitchen safety, food preparation, cooking, nutrition, and how to be informed consumer and understand food labels. Limited space available for each 6 week session. 

Students will 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 some of the fresh vegetables and herbs that they will cook with and learn to read and understand food labels to make better choices.
