‘Buzzing Around CT': Natasha learns to cook at Cook & Grow
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (WTNH) — In this week's 'Buzzing Around CT,' Natasha Lubczenko learns how to cook with Chef Mona Jackson from 'Cook & Grow.' The Bridgeport-based nonprofit teaches people of all ages how to cook with fresh, healthy ingredients. Jackson started this program over a decade ago to help children in her community learn healthy habits. 'I started noticing kids and how they are overweight, shy, high blood pressure, all the bad things,' she said. 'And it stemmed from food. So I decided to create 'Cook and Grow' with healthy cooking and healthy eating.' She now hosts several programs throughout the year, working with the state to run a cooking course for students at Bridgeport's Bassick High School, a junior chef program in the summer, and even adult cooking classes! Jackson is also launching a new after-school cooking program in the fall. To learn more about that—or to donate to Cook & Grow's mission—visit 'Buzzing Around CT' is a segment where CT Buzz Host Natasha Lubczenko tries new things, uncovers hidden gems, and highlights the best our state has to offer.
