An important aspect of the mobile cooking school is meeting the needs of the targeted audience. This time last year, we had a series scheduled on Fridays at a local community center. After visiting with the participants and asking what kinds of foods they’d like to try, one participant mentioned that her family was observing Lent. So, not only would she like to have Lent-friendly options while in class, she would like to have new ideas to feed her family on Fridays. The next two classes included the very popular Salmon Cakes and Ginger Mayonnaise and Skillet Gnocchi with White Beans and Swiss Chard. Everyone was happy with the choices, both those observing Lent and those who just enjoy food.
