A Cooking Matters Family Cooking Class held last night for young chefs and their families brought smiles all around.

This family fun program teaches school-age children and their parents about healthy eating as a family, and the importance of working together to plan and prepare healthy meals on a budget.

Special guest Mayor Ruben Pineda, who himself has a culinary background, enjoyed sharing his kitchen skills and seeing youngsters in the community develop an appreciation for preparing and eating fresh, healthy meals.
