About Kitchen-in-a-Box

Hands-on cooking demonstrations that bring learning to life. Participants follow along with simple recipes, building confidence in the kitchen while exploring new tastes and new techniques... and new friendships. Caregivers can join to practice skills that support daily mealtimes.

Old dogs can’t learn new tricks? We don’t buy it. Everyone can discover new skills, new tastes, and new ways to enjoy food at any age.

Led by Jocelyn Protopappas, RD, CDCES, founder of Peas & Pappas Consulting in Reno, NV.
