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.

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.
