Learn how to cook and prepare healthy and delicious meals with SBH’s nutrition and cooking classes right here in the Bronx.
Through a collaboration with NYC Department of Health (NYCDOH), we offer a nutrition education and meal preparation class for women in the community who have uncontrolled diabetes. Each class includes a cooking demonstration and education session by one of our nutrition experts, and every participant is provided practical nutrition tools they can confidently implement in their daily lives.
Learn how to master the fusion of flavors from around the world with our different themed cultural classes from Caribbean, to Hispanic Heritage, and more! Our take on the community’s beloved classic recipes will provide delicious and refreshing flavors, with an emphasis on balanced meals to include protein, fiber, and other important nutrients.
We involve local high school students with the rooftop farm we run through a partnership with Project EATS. Students harvest some of the food grown in the garden to use as ingredients during cooking classes. The rooftop farm is also home to over 250,000 bees, so participants also learn about honey production and the import role bees play in our food chain.
Overview of our cooking classes
Our cooking and nutrition experts offer a wide variety of classes to meet your tastes. Don’t worry if you don’t have a lot of cooking experience. You’ll learn basic to more advanced techniques in the Teaching Kitchen. All our dishes focus on fruits, vegetables, grains, lean protein and healthy fats. They’re also low salt and low sugar to help control high blood pressure and diabetes. Enjoy a full meal while you’re in class. And, at the end of each session, you’ll walk away with leftovers and a handful of new recipes.

“What I learned in the Teaching Kitchen was how to cook more healthy foods.”
