Cooking Matters: Nutrition Education Project

Cooking Matters: Nutrition Education Project

The Nutrition Education Project is a FREE Cooking Matters class taught by MU Extension, funded by Missouri Medicaid Managed Care Organizations. It's a series of 6 classes (one class/week) that allow you to cook alongside instructors from your own home. The virtual instruction is provided live to a small group with the opportunity to interact with the instructor and other participants.

The class provides:

  • Virtual cooking instruction, offered late afternoon/evening
  • Free groceries to prepare each recipe that are delivered to your home

The benefits of participating include:

  • Free groceries to prepare each recipe
  • Learn new recipes and strategies to cook for picky eaters
  • End each class with a prepared dish for your family’s meal
  • Learn tips for stretching your food dollar
