Cooking Improv! is a food literacy experience coupled with our mission of rescuing and transforming food to reduce food waste and help the food insecure. Participants will use their knowledge, skills and ideas to prepare healthy recipes using the materials they have on hand.  By building our knowledge on cooking methods and the use of whole products, we encourage using less and wasting less without sacrificing the creation of healthy delicious food.  Essentially, it's learning to cook with what is available to you.  The experience is divided into 2 parts: the Mission and Cooking Improv.  For the mission, students will be honing their knife skills and chopping recently rescued produce for our production kitchen.  While the majority of the processed produce is sent back for production, a small portion is set aside for use for the Cooking Improv portion of the class.  Here participants will create 2 dishes using their ideas and knowledge of cooking!  The experience is 2 hours in length and is designed for students ages 12 and up.  There is a minimum of 8 participants.  The maximum class size is 12.
