Details

This practical workshop introduces essential skills for safely handling and storing food in non-commercial settings. Participants will explore core food safety practices by drawing on evidence-based guidelines, learning about proper sanitation, safe cleaning methods, proper cooking and holding temperatures, refrigerator and freezer standards, cross-contamination prevention, food labeling, thermometer use, and effective cooling and storage techniques. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of how to keep their kitchens and themselves safe.

Adulthood 101 is a workshop series focused on improving wellbeing through honing practical life skills. This series creates a supportive space to explore topic areas that some may feel hesitant to ask about, such as food safety, car care, grief and healing, and managing other responsibilities. By normalizing learning and growth as an adult, Adulthood 101 aims to reduce stress, build confidence, and empower participants to feel more capable and supported in their day to day lives.
