Jessica
Williams, nutritionist for the
UMass
Extension Nutrition Education
Program, took her CFC
cooking class to the Rodman Street Stop & Shop grocery store on June 8,
2009 to help them learn about food selection. Some of the ingredients
that the group was shopping for included items that will be incorporated
in upcoming recipes. Along the way, Jessica had the chance to provide
some valuable education about food selection, including how to read a
nutrition label. The group has been meeting weekly at
CD-REC for a weekly cooking class
where students learn how to cook good tasting nutritious food.
