Create or Join a Cooking Club! A RECIPE FOR GREAT FOOD AND FRIENDSHIPS

Cooking Up a Good Time Each time your cooking club meets, you can embark on a new and exciting culinary adventure! Having a theme for your club’s meetup — like Thai, Italian, or French — can allow your group to spread their foodie wings and learn more about regional cuisine. You can

Cooking clubs can turn a chore into a flavorful event, with your friends acting as the ingredients for a good time and some good food. Let’s face it: Preparing a meal on your own can sometimes be a lonely, uphill slog, but if you cook with others, utilizing a theme, goal, or challenge

to make it all the more exciting, it can be spectacular! Here are two reasons why — and how — you should create a cooking club!

also replicate one of your favorite television cooking competitions, like “Chopped” or “Cutthroat Kitchen,” and turn one of your club’s gatherings into an entertaining spectacle! If you want to embark on a group diet, meal prepping with your group is a great way to reduce food waste and save money by bulk purchasing groceries. Collaborating on a culinary project can help rekindle friendships while exploring a fun hobby with those whose company you adore. If you want to socialize more while creating delectable memories with loved ones and friends, then a cooking club may be your new favorite group hobby!

Friends of a Feather Cooking clubs usually comprise a small group of friends who come together regularly to cook. If you have friends who are

similarly interested in expanding their culinary horizons, you are well on your way to establishing a successful club! Agree on a time — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — to collaborate on themed meals, preparation, or even cooking challenges, and away you go!

TASTY CUCUMBER SUSHI ROLLS

Implementing this program wasn’t a decision we made lightly. Honestly, there was no way we could continue as we have been. That’s why so many clinics have already shifted away from accepting Medicare patients or compromised quality care due to financial pressures. We want to offer an alternative that keeps care accessible and personal. I understand this is a significant shift from traditional care models. That’s why we offer the first evaluation without committing to a membership, allowing potential members to experience the difference firsthand before deciding. Navigating these changes in health care is like climbing a mountain. It requires preparation, endurance, and the courage to forge new paths. I am committed to this journey because I believe in providing the best possible care, and I invite our community to join us as we innovate in the face of adversity. Together, we can redefine what it means to support health and wellness for everyone, regardless of age or insurance.

INGREDIENTS • 1 cup uncooked sushi rice • 1 1/2 cups water • 2 tbsp rice vinegar • 1 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp salt • 2 sheets of nori • 1/2 a cucumber, sliced

lengthwise into thin strips

DIRECTIONS

1. To make sushi rice, combine rice with water in a small saucepot. Add vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until water is absorbed. Let cool. 2. Lay a piece of nori on a flat surface. Spread half of the sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1/2-inch border on one end. 3. Place half the cucumber strips along the other end of the nori. 4. Using your fingers, moisten the 1/2-inch border of the nori with water. 5. Gently roll up the nori, starting from the end with the cucumbers. Then press to seal. Repeat with a second sheet of nori and remaining cucumber. 6. Slice with a serrated knife into 1-inch sections and serve.
