Dear friends,

Healthy eating is easier when you know where to start. Cooking Matters helps people build the skills and confidence to shop for, prepare and enjoy nutritious, affordable meals. As part of The Food Trust, we offer practical recipes and support a national network of partners bringing hands-on food skills education to their communities.

Since 1993, more than a million people have learned with Cooking Matters. That learning happens in schools, clinics, food banks, community centers and grocery store aisles across the country. Every class moves us closer to our vision of a future where everyone has the confidence, skills and resources to make healthy eating part of everyday life.

That reach is possible because of the organizations that deliver Cooking Matters every day. Our partnership model supports them. It gives partners three years of curricula, training, technical support and a network of peers to learn from.

The future is bright with new and expanded Cooking Matters programming on the way. Whether you’re exploring a recipe or ready to bring Cooking Matters to your community, we’re so glad you’re here.

With appreciation,

Katie Belazis
Director, Nutrition Education
The Food Trust
