Join us to find out What’s Cooking! We test out new recipes together. Maybe try foods we’ve never tasted before. We make nutritious and delicious dishes from around the world, focusing on local, seasonal and budget-friendly foods, including those found in the Good Food Box, with the occasional exotic ingredient mixed in to spice things up! While we’re having fun in the kitchen, playing with our food, we’ll be sharing our cooking skills with each other and learning reliable nutrition and food safety tips from our Dietitian, Kate. Whether you’re looking to make new friends or to enjoy a free meal (and maybe even take home a doggy bag too), What’s Cooking is the place for you!

No skills required. We can show you how to boil water! There is no cost to participate. What’s Cooking is offered from 10am – 1pm at Country Roads Community Health Centre in Portland on the 1st Tuesday of the month.

Date : November 1, 2022 from 10am to 1pm
