Cooking with Friends, a new cooking and nutrition school, offers its first classes every Tuesday night in January and February of 2023.

Taught by dietitian and nutritionist, Wendy Wesley, the classes are back-to-basics cooking for busy individuals who want to cook more at home, rely less on restaurant and prepared foods and improve their health.

The classes are interactive and hands-on with all ingredients and equipment provided. Students eat what they cook in a dining room adjacent to the kitchen.

Lessons include Thai Noodle Bowls, Jumbo Shrimp and Crab Cakes, Winter White Bean Bisque, and Chocolate Hummus with Strawberries on Valentine's Day.

The classes take place in the kitchen at Allendale Church located at 3901 Haines Road in St. Pete. Each class is $39. Sign up at https://stpetecookingwithfriends.com
