The first workshop is on Wednesday, Nov. 25, from 6:30 to 8:15 p.m. at the Pioneer Community Resource Centre, at 4535 Kingsway. Maya Thau-Eleff will teach participants how to make healthy and tasty weeknight meals.
The second workshop is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 26, from 6:30 to 8:15 p.m. at the Brentwood Community Resource Centre, at 2055 Rosser Ave. Since parking is limited, participants are asked to bike or take transit.

Both workshops are free and hands-on, and participants are asked to bring their own aprons.
