Following the success of our Valentine’s Chop & Soup workshop with local chef (and NWFM director!) Rob Mackay, we are excited to announce our next workshop!

What: Mason Jar Meal Prep with Chef Jen Hiltz

Where:  Qayqayt Elementary School, New Westminster [map]

When:  Tue, 28 March 2017, from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

What You’ll Learn

Join us for a fun after-dinner session of cooking and prepping! Chef Jen Hiltz knows all about the challenge of eating well while living a busy lifestyle on a budget. At this workshop, Jen will demonstrate how you can easily prepare healthy mason jar-style meals at home for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, even on a busy schedule.

About Jen
