Cooking For You!

March 19th, 2010

Looking out for each other, looking out for yourself. That seemed to be the goal for everyone at our third “Cooking for You!” workshop this year.  The group was on their feet, sleeves rolled up, and under the guidance of Ed Gurka in the kitchen at St. Barnabas Church, learning and re-learning how to handle food safely, cook a healthy simple recipe, and properly store leftovers.  Cooking for You was has been a program led by Ed Gurka, funeral director at Memorial, to help individuals who have recently lost their spouse or companion, and are trying to work their way back into the kitchen with healthy habits, no more cereal for dinner!  Here’s the group of Funeral Home Staff and the volunteers who helped make it happen.
