Cooking is fun and practical. It allows you to make healthy food choices and feed your family for less money than eating in a restaurant.

Remember, you don't need a fancy kitchen to prepare good food.

• Clear and clean a counter top or table to prepare food on.
• Make sure you have enough light to read recipes and see over the cooking area.
• Stock a cabinet or pantry with a few cooking staples, such as flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cooking oil, salt, pepper, and other spices as needed.
