North Coast Food Web serves up cooking classes ASTORIA — North Coast Food Web believes in the power of food to foster good health and to unite a commu- nity through the shared — of- ten joyous — experience of cooking and eating together. NCFW’s Cooking Up Community is a program of broad-reaching food experi- ences and classes, meant to instill and enhance cooking skills, a love of the art, and an appreciation for the farmers, ¿VKHUPHQ UDQFKHUV DQG IRU- agers who are essential in the quest for food and economic security in rural communities. The curriculum of one-off classes begins in September. Multi-week courses will be- gin in October starting with D ¿YHZHHN FRXUVH RQ %DVLF Techniques launching Oct. 3. Each class will top out at 12 students and will be a hands- on experience ending with a shared meal. Classes for everyone from foodies to neophytes will in- clude cooking for one or two, meals on a budget, address- ing special dietary needs, cooking for the week, enter- taining, cooking with kids and more. “We believe that cooking and eating together enhances community health beyond the nutritional value of what we create; beyond the de- light of planting, nurturing and harvesting something to eat; beyond the support we can engender for our local producers,” says North Coast Food Web board member Me- rianne Meyers. “Getting our hands on our food, preparing it with others, sitting at table with new friends we might never have met otherwise — that’s growing community. It’s a delicious weapon in the war on hunger, a productive treatment for ill health and a celebration of the timeless art of food preparation.” For registration informa- tion, go to northcoastfood- web.org or call cooking class Coordinator Wendy D’Agos- tino at 503-468-0921 week- days between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Scholarships are avail- able.
