Our classes are great for:
We will host at least 36 cooking classes in 2026.
Currently, we are hosting multiple class series. Some classes cover tips and tricks to stretch a tightly budgeted pantry or make use of supplies that are affordable AND feel great to eat. We also host a plant-based series designed to help people learn new and surprising ways to incorporate more plants into their diet without getting repetitive. New in 2026 is our film series, which will feature dishes that star in films across the globe! The mission of the Eat Well program is, after all, to learn new food skills, meet our neighbors, and have fun.
- up-skilling your budgeting and meal planning/meal prep know-how
- building connections: all our classes offer an opportunity for hands-on collaboration with fellow participants, so you can reignite friendships and make new ones!
- discovering new fruits, vegetables, and grains and growing the confidence to try them at home, too

Here's what our chef shared about the impact in 2025:
At more than 28 cooking classes out in the community, I had so much fun sharing foods I love. Rediscovering old recipes and getting back in the habit of cooking with a group of people after having left my professional cooking job before I moved to Grand Forks, feeding people well, and making new friends ... it really has been great, and in more ways than I can readily explain. So, thank you, all of you who attended. |
Barb, who attended many of our demos last year, said:
I love all the activities at game night and the cooking demos, so I can’t think of a specific night that stands our more than the others. I get a sense of belonging from these events. |
