Book It To Health
Cooking Classes with the DC Public Library
Oasis’ foundational cooking class series is centered around fun monthly events providing accurate and practical information on preparing healthy food. These classes are actively countering the notions that healthy food lacks flavor or is not filling, a healthy diet is too expensive to maintain on a limited budget, and cooking at home is too time consuming for working adults. In partnership with local chefs and staff nutritionists, our cooking class series is busting those myths while improving attitudes and intentions around healthy eating as a behavior. Our longest running program, Oasis’ cooking classes utilize program and evaluation materials from USDA SNAP-Ed. In partnership with the DC Health department, Oasis has developed a curriculum that features seasonal recipes, and is evaluated using evidence-based tools from the USDA, tailored for our programs.
