Interventions
Nourish intervention then no intervention
Participants will attend a weekly in-person class with brief instructional video clips, hands-on cooking and tasting experiences. Participants will work individually and as part of small groups during instructional sessions. At the end of each class, participants will receive a grocery bundle and a kitchen gadget that serves both as an incentive and implementation support to promote improved cooking frequency and confidence. Participants will be asked to post photos of what they made with their groceries to an instant messaging software (GroupMe application) and be encouraged to engage with fellow classmates on GroupMe to encourage social support of cooking. After 9 weeks, participants crossover into the No Intervention group.
