Lessons
For partners seeking to “recreate” the Cooking Matters for Parents six-week course, we suggest a six-week series using the first six lessons and adding a “food prep” module with each for six, 91-120-minute lessons.
Looking to lead a Cooking Matters at the Store program? The Shopping Smart lesson can be used in place of the Cooking Matters at the Store curriculum. When led as a one-hour intervention, it has been shown to be practice tested. For more information about the evidence, please visit the About page.
