Library Programs |

After school snacks
are no longer just soda and potato
chips, and healthy food is more than
alfalfa sprouts. No Cook Cooking
classes teach students how to cook
delicious and nutritious snacks using
fresh ingredients from the Farmers’
Markets without an oven or stove. While
learning about nutrition and locally
grown produce, students will prepare a
tasty snack that is simple enough to
make again on their own or with their
family.
,Iron Chef Challenge: Turn your
No Cook Cooking Class into an Iron Chef
Challenge! Each class features a
Farmers Market secret ingredient and
teams work together to impress the
judges with their no- cook creations.
