Abstract
Common barriers for preparing healthy meals perceived by low income families include lack of cooking skill and nutrition knowledge and not enough time or money. Additionally, previous research in low income audiences discovered participants had a preference for interactive, hands-on group activities that built on social relationships. Therefore, to address these barriers and preferences, University of Illinois Extension EFNEP along with Illinois Department of Health and Human Services WIC program and Catholic Charities of Chicago created “Come Cook with Us”, an interactive program where WIC participants learn in small groups of peers basic nutrition information and food preparations skills utilizing foods from the WIC food package.
