Classes Connect Cultural Heritage and Healthy Eating
Norcross – Norcross Community Market, in partnership with Summerour Middle School and Boston-based food and nutrition nonprofit Oldways, is bringing “A Taste of African Heritage” community cooking classes to Norcross this summer. The six-class series will take place from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays from June 4 through July 16, excluding July 2, at Summerour Middle School, 321 Price Place, in Norcross.
The free, hands-on classes aim to address health disparities frequently reported in African-American communities by teaching participants to adopt healthy eating habits based on traditional African foods. Participants learn about spices and herbs, greens, grains, beans, tubers, fruits, and vegetables that have sustained Africans and their descendants for generations.
