Community Connections is a cooking and nutrition education class, led by a Registered Dietitian and Wellness Chef, focused on supporting people affected by cancer. This class is not just about preparing easy meals; it's about nourishing the body and soul during a challenging time. Understanding that a well-balanced diet plays a crucial role in the journey through cancer treatment, we aim to empower you with evidence-based knowledge and skills to create meals that are both nutritious and delicious.
We explore how specific foods and even cooking techniques can help to better manage treatment side effects and promote overall well-being. We focus on recipes that are easy to prepare, budget friendly, and packed with the nutrients needed to support healing and recovery.
Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or simply someone interested in learning more about nutrition for cancer care, this class offers a supportive environment where you can ask questions and try some tasty new recipes.
These classes will often highlight some of the supportive care resources that are offered by local community cancer organizations.
