Pompea Smith Good Cooking/Buena Cocina Nutrition Education Program

The Pompea Smith Good Cooking/Buena Cocina Nutrition Education Program in Burbank, CA, is dedicated to empowering our community through free interactive nutrition education and cooking classes. Our program emphasizes essential skills that enable participants to make informed healthy eating choices. Covering topics like MyPlate guidelines, label reading, and the importance of fruits and vegetables, we foster a deeper understanding of sugars, fats, and salts in our diets. Each class concludes with an engaging recipe demonstration using fresh, local produce, allowing participants of all skill levels to create nutritious meals at home. We also support those receiving CalFresh benefits with our Market Match incentive program, enabling them to stretch their market spending. Classes are available in both Spanish and English, structured in a series format of 4-6 classes, and include 45 minutes of nutrition education followed by a 15-minute food demonstration and tasting. Join us to explore healthy cooking and nutrition education in a welcoming environment while enjoying seasonal produce from our local farmers.
