Need some inspiration in the kitchen?

The Church Health Center can help.

The organization commited to health and wellness in the community offers free regular cooking classes year-round that anyone can take.

"During December, they will be demonstrating a variety of dishes, many of them holiday dishes made healthfully," said the center's Sharon Tagg.

Here is the schedule. The classes are limited to 24 participants, on a first-come, first-served basis, and are held in the Demonstration Kitchen at the Hope & Healing Center, 1115 Union.

Classes are: Wednesdays at 9 and 10:30 a.m. and Thursdays at 9, 10:30 a.m. and 2 and 5:30 p.m. For more information, call Hope & Healing at 259-4673 or check out the Web site at churchhealthcenter.org
