Join Chef Helen Graham for Root-to-Tip Cooking

This hands-on class is designed specifically for families! All adults must come with a child—no unaccompanied children or adults. It’s a great opportunity for families to cook together and learn how to create delicious, budget-friendly meals while having fun in the kitchen.

Chef Helen Graham will guide you through an inspiring community cooking class focused on root-to-tip cooking—a sustainable approach that makes use of every part of the vegetable. You’ll learn creative techniques to reduce food waste while crafting delicious, plant-based dishes. This class will give you the skills and confidence to incorporate root-to-tip practices into your everyday cooking.
