Event Description
Join me in my kitchen as I deliver an interactive, educational, and empowering cooking class!

Looking for more than just an online cooking class about what to prepare while at home for COVID-19?

If you or someone you know has diabetes, heart disease, chronic lung disease, cancer, or obesity, you cannot miss this class. Sign up today!
