NourishU from Home
Master budget-friendly, delicious cooking from your own kitchen.
NourishU from Home is a live, 6-week virtual cooking program designed to help MRU students build kitchen confidence, cut food waste, and cook complete meals from scratch.
How it works:
- We send you weekly grocery gift cards to cover the cost of your ingredients.
- Join 2-hour virtual classes from your own kitchen and cook a full dinner step-by-step alongside Holistic Nutrition Chef Tasmina.
Who can Participate?
Exclusively for MRU Students! Whether you are a total beginner or looking to expand your recipe rotation, all skill levels are welcome.
Attendance Note: Because each week builds on key techniques, participants must commit to attending all 6 online sessions.
