The Oldways A Taste of Latin Heritage is designed to help people eat and live more healthfully through a traditional diet—specifically, to incorporate more fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based traditional foods, and to prepare more home-cooked healthy meals per week.

With lesson plans that simultaneously teach history, nutrition, and cooking techniques, this six-week program introduces participants to the rich cultural history of Latin heritage foods while providing them the tools they need to adopt this traditional way of eating for better health in modern day life.

This cooking class series is for adult learners and open to all cultural backgrounds.
