Summary
This pilot study tested a weekly cooking and food skills program called Nourish in 26 healthy adults. Participants attended in-person classes with hands-on cooking, received groceries and kitchen tools, and tracked their food waste. The goal was to see if the classes could improve diet, reduce stress, and cut food waste. Because it was a small pilot, the results are preliminary.
