In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, many find cooking at home to be a daunting task, but Fresh Take, the innovative virtual cooking series from the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center, aims to dispel that notion. This programme weaves together the art of cooking and the science of nutrition, empowering participants to create simple, wholesome meals in their own kitchens. With expert guidance at their fingertips, cooking transforms into an adventure rather than a chore.
Every session features an engaging step-by-step cooking demonstration led by specialist chefs and registered dietitians. Attendees acquire practical cooking techniques alongside vital nutrition knowledge, perfectly tailored for anyone eager to enhance their culinary skills or introduce more nutritious foods into their diets. Fresh Take makes healthy eating not just possible, but enjoyable and sustainable.
What truly sets Fresh Take apart is its harmonious blend of culinary artistry with nutritional wisdom. Each class is meticulously designed by a team that prioritises both flavour and health in their recipes. Participants can join from the comfort of their kitchens, choosing to cook along or simply observe, thus facilitating a personal and interactive learning experience. All classes come with a digital recipe guide, making it easy for attendees to recreate each dish.
Mark your calendars for the next session on Thursday, March 20, from 5:00 to 5:30 p.m. (MT) on Zoom, where Chef Adam Sacks, RD, will share the delightful process of creating Tempeh Mushroom Veggie Wraps—an exciting and nutrient-dense dish. This session, part of National Nutrition Month, teaches essential tips for infusing meals with flavour while encouraging vegetable incorporation.
“Cooking at home doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming,” Chef Sacks notes. This class reveals how to whip up a protein-rich, delicious meal that the whole family will love, showcasing cooking as a straightforward pleasure rather than a complex task.
Looking forward, the April session, scheduled for Wednesday, April 17, also features Chef Sacks, who will guide participants in concocting Berry Chia Jam, an easy, antioxidant-laden recipe perfect for enhancing meals with natural sweetness amid Stress Awareness Month.
