Brown stresses that the planning of the workshops begins and ends with following the State of Illinois Parks and Recreation Center guidelines. Face masks are required at the workshops for all participants.
"We are taking all measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus and keeping all visitors safe," she said.
“I would love for children to join in on all the fun and explore our world through food by preparing simple homemade dishes,” Nisha said. “Pack up your sibling, cousins, or best friend and join Ms. Nisha for The Lunch Club!
"Our cooking workshops are designed to give your little buddies the confidence of assisting in preparing simple dishes such as fresh salads, cookies, ice cream, and homemade bread to more complex dishes such as casseroles and soups. Our workshops help your children develop a passion for cooking and experience how good it feels to serve others.”
